You know it’s summer in Sacramento when the temperatures rise, Concerts in the Park is in full swing, and the Delta Breeze kicks in.
We all have songs that define our summers. Like the ones from high school when we headed to the river or skateboarded to a friend’s house. Or from college when we went to the bars during summer break to grab $1 beers. And more recent summers when happy hours and music festivals were the main focus of our nights.
We’ve curated a Songs of Summer playlist with a collection of our DSP staff’s favorite summer songs. Roll down the windows, turn up the volume, and take a listen:
