Melody Hall Festival Encore June 6th

Back by popular demand the Santa Paula Historical Society is proud to announce the return of the Melody Hall Music Festival coming to Santa Paula on Saturday June 6th.  Held in the adjacent parking lot located next to the California Oil Museum at 1001 E. Main Street, this free event will showcase seven outstanding bands that will range from Rock & Roll to Big Band Jazz & Swing. 

Named for one of  Santa Paula’s earliest night clubs the festival will provide a large dance floor, portable restrooms, food trucks, and entertainment starting at 10am and lasting until 7:30pm. The public is encouraged to provide their own seating. Umbrellas and shade pop-ups will be allowed but only in designated areas.   A special fenced-in Beer Garden will be provided and housed within the exterior gates of the California Oil Museum Courtyard and no alcoholic beverages are allowed outside of that perimeter.  

In addition to the festival the Santa Paula Art Museum will host an Open Studio from 10am-4pm. Artists of all ages are invited to join in a free hands-on art making workshop during the Melody Hall Music event. Participants will learn how to create their own instruments out of everyday materials in this interactive workshop and end the day by testing out your creation by leading your own musical performance. This workshop will be fun for the whole family!  The Santa Paula Art Museum is located at 117 N. 10th Street, adjacent to the Melody Hall Music Event.

Made possible through sponsorships from local businesses and residents, the Santa Paula Historical Society is still accepting donations to support this free music event for Santa Paula.  Private seating, parking and refreshments are available at a special sponsorship level. Donations can be secured by contacting the Santa Paula Historical Society by mail at P.O. Box 842, Santa Paula, CA. 93061 or by calling Festival Chairman, Ed Arguelles at 805-279-3415.
