A Downtown Menlo Fund project
Monthly Music in Menlo
One Friday a month, all of downtown becomes the venue. Live music up and down Santa Cruz Avenue, free for everyone. It's a simple idea: get neighbors out into downtown together, where friendships deepen and local businesses thrive.
See dates & lineupWhy we built this
Fourth Fridays grew out of a simple goal of the Downtown Menlo Fund: give people a reason to come downtown, linger, and connect, and send that energy straight into the local businesses that make downtown special.
A free, welcoming evening that turns the sidewalks and plazas into one big block party, with neighbors running into neighbors.
Foot traffic up and down Santa Cruz Avenue means full patios and busy shops for the restaurants and retailers downtown.
A recurring, paid stage for Peninsula performers, with music at every corner, growing a little each month.
