For the second year in a row, the Marston House Gardens plays host to an unforgettable end-of-summer music experience! On September 1, from 3 to 5pm, SOHO presents the first in the series of three outdoor concerts featuring the best of Americana, folk, country, and blues music in a festival of extraordinary women singer-songwriters.

Attendees from last year know how magical the experience was, and because you asked us to, we’re doing it again!

Set in the enchanting historic rose garden on three Fridays in September, from 3 to 5pm, this concert series offers a unique and intimate setting. Picture this: Three talented artists sharing the stage, their music, and captivating stories in the round to engage and delight everyone.

Tickets for each show are $10 for SOHO members and $12 for non-members. Seating is limited so be sure to grab yours now to secure your spot.

Remember to bring your own lawn chair or blanket for ultimate comfort. We'll have light refreshments available for purchase, but feel free to bring your own snacks and drinks as well. Let's keep the garden clean by packing in and packing out.

Meet our amazing musicians for the first concert on September 1

Lisa Sanders, Annie Bethancourt, and Suzanne Panza

SOHO events not only provide quality entertainment but also raise awareness about the importance of preserving historic buildings, sites, and landscapes. Proceeds from ticket sales and donations will directly benefit the talented musicians and support arts and culture programming at the Marston House.

While you're here, don't forget to explore the Marston House Museum Shop, exclusively open for concertgoers. Consider becoming a SOHO member to save $2 on each concert ticket and enjoy a 15% discount when shopping. Plus, your purchases directly contribute to historic preservation efforts.

Now, more than ever, we need your support. During the challenges of the past three years, SOHO has had to postpone signature events that traditionally raised funds for our mission. Please help us preserve San Diego's unique cultural and historic places. If you're unable to attend the concerts but still want to contribute, we warmly welcome your donation.

Join us at the Marston House Gardens for a remarkable music series that celebrates the end of summer in the most captivating way. We can't wait to see you there!
