Since I like to write about happenings between Millbrae and San Carlos, summer means free concerts and each of our towns has some for you to pick from. Make a picnic and grab your blankets to sit on and/or to possibly bundle up. Bring the family and enjoy the music. Free is good. When you're leaving the concert be sure to thank the local Park & Recreation people for providing the music. Belmont kicks off the summer season tomorrow afternoon.
