OC Fair Announces Pacific Symphony’s SummerFest 2017 Featuring Symphonic Springsteen, Jurassic Park and Tchaikovsky


OC Fair & Event Center has announced Pacific Symphony’s SummerFest 2017 featuring three more Pacific Symphony performances happening at Pacific Amphitheatre.

Symphonic Springsteen featuring Bruce in the USA, with conductor Richard Kaufman, will help you celebrate the Fourth of July with fireworks and a high-energy tribute to “The Boss.” 

On Aug. 19, conductor Richard Kaufman returns to Pacific Amphitheatre for “Jurassic Park” – the John Williams score will be performed live while you watch the classic film starring Jeff Goldblum, Sam Neill and Laura Dern. 

Finally, the Tchaikovsky Spectacular on Sept. 9 will feature conductor Carl St. Clair as the famous romantic composer’s greatest hits are performed, complete with live cannons and fireworks. 

These concerts beneath the stars are part of a five-part SummerFest that includes the previously announced Kenny Loggins (July 12) and a to-be-announced Hail to the Heroes concert. SummerFest Passes are available in two levels: Gold, which includes all five concerts, and Silver, which includes Springsteen, Jurassic Park and Tchaikovsky; prices start at $63.
