'Friday Nights Live' Returns To Santee Trolley Square

SANTEE, CA — Santee is celebrating summer's near arrival with the return of the Friday Nights Live series at Santee Trolley Square.

The second annual series, which was held on Thursdays last year, serves as an early kick-off to summer with free family fun and entertainment. Friday Nights Live will take place on Fridays this year beginning May 19 through June 9.

"This series of events celebrates the oncoming summer season by providing free entertainment and family fun activities such as face painting, giveaways, crafts, and a rock climbing wall," Special Events Supervisor Becky Lowndes told Patch. "Each Friday will showcase a different performance, so pack a dinner or pick up food at one of the local eateries. You won't want to miss this lineup."

This year's live entertainment lineup features cover band It's Never 2L8 on May 19, Expressions Dance and Movement Center on May 26, Bill Magee Blues on June 2, and Staump Music School on June 9. All events are scheduled from 5:30-7 p.m. at the Santee Trolley Square amphitheater.
