Santa Monica, CA (PRWEB) June 16, 2014
Main Street Business Improvement Association (MSBIA) will throw their 14th Annual Summer SOULstice on June 22, offering locals a day full of live music, sidewalk sales, discounts, shopping, drinking, munching and dining!
15 bands at 5 stages will entertain the crowds; bands returning include Dr. Wu (Steely Dan tribute band), Neil Deal (Neil Young tribute band), The Rising (Springsteen tribute band), Paul Chesne Band, and Killing Cassanova. New bands include Black Crystal Wolf Kids (Indie tribute band), Babylon Saints (reggae-rock), and Evil Nancy (8-piece horn rock).
MSBIA partnered with Heal the Bay to raise money to produce the event and raise money for Heal the Bay. People who buy a $10 Heal the Bay wristband receive a 10% discount at 40 participating stores and restaurants through the month of June, 2014.
Wristbands are on sale at T-Mobile, 220 Fitness, Areal Restaurant, hip’tique, RAWvolution, and Main Street’s table at the Sunday Farmer’s Market. Purchasers will receive a list of participating businesses when they buy the wristband, donated to help raise money by At The Pool. The list of participating businesses is also available on the website at http://www.mainstreetsm.com/#FeaturedEvent.
