What a summer at Mt. Eden Mansion!

The H.A.R.D. Foundation’s Music at the Mansion Summer Concert Series brought thousands of community members together for three afternoons of free live music, food, and fun on the lawn of the historic Mt. Eden Mansion.

The series kicked off in July with Chocolate Rice, whose blend of smooth jazz, R&B, funk, and soul drew more than 500 attendees. In August, more than 1,200 people joined us for an energetic afternoon with the Latin Rhythm Boys. We closed out the summer in September with our biggest crowd yet, as more than 1,300 attendees came out to enjoy the blues sounds of The JC Smith Band.

Altogether, the three concerts welcomed more than 3,000 attendees, making Music at the Mansion a wonderful celebration of music, community, and one of H.A.R.D.’s unique park settings.

A special thank you goes to H.A.R.D. Foundation Board Member Patrick Landeza, who hosted the series and helped keep the music, energy, and celebration going throughout the summer. We are also grateful to our sponsors, vendors, volunteers, performers, and everyone who joined us on the lawn and helped make the series such a success.

And we’re not done yet! Music at the Mansion will return next summer with another season of free live music and community fun. Stay connected with the H.A.R.D. Foundation for announcements about the 2027 Music at the Mansion Summer Concert Series.

We can’t wait to welcome you back to the Mansion!
