Live Music, Waterfront Views, and Local Wine Return to Pittsburg Marina
The Real Impostors headline the first evening of the summer concert series alongside JSL Wines and Headlands Brewery.
Summer nights are officially returning to the waterfront as First Fridays at Pittsburg Marina kicks off its 2026 season on Friday, June 5 with live music, local wine, craft beer, and one of the best sunset settings in East Contra Costa County.
The evening’s entertainment will feature The Real Impostors, bringing energetic live music to the marina as guests gather along the Delta for a relaxed outdoor community event. Known for blending great music with a laid-back atmosphere, the First Fridays series has become a popular seasonal tradition for residents looking to unwind, socialize, and enjoy summer evenings close to home.
Running from 5:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at the Pittsburg Marina, the free event invites attendees to stroll the waterfront while enjoying wine tastings, craft beer, artisan vendors, and local food options. This month’s featured beverage partners include JSL Wines and Headlands Brewery, offering guests the opportunity to sample regional favorites while taking in the marina views.
One of the things that makes the Pittsburg Marina series stand out is the setting itself. As the sun begins to set over the Delta, the marina transforms into a casual gathering space filled with music, conversation, and community energy. Boats line the waterfront, string lights begin to glow, and the entire area takes on the feel of a summer festival without the crowds or hassle of larger events.
The event is family-friendly and designed to be welcoming for all ages. Guests are encouraged to bring lawn chairs or blankets and settle in for the evening while enjoying the live entertainment. Local artisan vendors will also be on hand showcasing handmade goods, artwork, and specialty products from around the region.
Events like this continue to highlight Pittsburg’s growing waterfront scene and the city’s investment in creating community-centered experiences that bring residents together. Whether you’re planning a casual date night, meeting friends after work, or simply looking for an easy Friday evening outing, the June kickoff event offers a great excuse to head to the marina and enjoy the start of summer.
