Upcoming Napa Valley Outdoor Concerts 2022
Napa Valley offers much to do and see year-round, but as with anywhere else in the country, the area truly comes to life in the summertime. One characteristic of the summer season is the increased frequency of outdoor concerts. Here are a few outdoor concerts you won’t want to miss in wine country.
Venue: Oxbow RiverStage
The Oxbow RiverStage is a popular outdoor venue set along the Oxbow River. The open-air festival-style amphitheater boasts a summer lineup you won’t want to miss. You can enjoy the music and the summer air along with the best classic wine country views. While you enjoy the concert, you can walk around and sample locally sourced wines and grab a bite from one of the many food trucks that are set up for these events. Here are the outdoor concerts they’ve got lined up for the rest of 2022:
