2019 Concert Series

The Catalina Island Chamber of Commerce & Visitors Bureau, The Perfect Event and Xceptional Music Company are pleased to present a free, family-friendly concert series, next to the Avalon Bay on Wrigley Plaza Stage. A beer and wine garden is available at many of the concerts. Concerts run through September 2019.

First Fridays at the Museum

First Fridays encourage residents and visitors to explore the museum’s galleries and digital theater, enjoy refreshments and snacks in the outdoor plazas and shop in the Museum Store. Events may include music and dance performances, lectures, gallery talks or films.

Movies at the Museum

Avalon’s beautiful summer nights are the ideal setting to take in a classic film at the Catalina Island Museum during Movies at the Museum. This summer program was designed to offer people of all ages an option to enjoy the museum after hours. Catalina Island and magic are the main themes explored in this year’s program.

Windward Beach Cleanup

Volunteer in the great outdoors while combing the sand for debris to help keep our windward beaches pristine. Clean-up locations like Shark Harbor, Little Harbor, Ben Weston and Cottonwood rotate throughout the year.
