Yucaipa Music & Nightlife: December 14-20

Wow, I can't believe it's mid-December already! With the upcoming holidays*, there's lots of stuff going on in the next few weeks. If you know of any other events, feel free to leave a comment. You can find more information in the links at the the end of the post. Be sure to check out the Yucaipa calendar for theater and other non-musical events.

In the holiday spirit, take a trip to Manning Street where three neighbors have put together a coordinated music and light show. Weeknights from 5pm-9pm and Friday and Saturday night from 5pm-10pm. The music is broadcast on 92.5 FM. Directions: go north on 10th St from Yucaipa Blvd, turn right on Fairway Dr. and right on Manning St. (map).

Note: all entries subject to change. Call to confirm the bands and cover price.
