Join Birch Aquarium at Scripps for a new, monthly, cultural arts
program for San Diego's adults on select Wednesday evenings during
the summer. Kicking off the concert series on Wednesday evening, May
17, is Gary Seiler with Crosswinds. Doors open at 6 p.m.

The new Green Flash seaside summer concert series offers live music
performed by singer/songwriters and local bands on the aquarium's
Preuss Tidepool Plaza, featuring stunning views overlooking the
Pacific Ocean. Keep an eye out for a real "green flash" on the
horizon during sunset.

Birch Aquarium docents will be on hand to answer guests' questions
about marine life and exhibits. Guests will have the opportunity to
experience the aquarium after-hours and enjoy delicious food and
drink for purchase, provided by Rock Bottom Brewery and Restaurant.
Best of all, summer music will fill the air.

Live music under the setting sun will be performed in two 45-minute
sets: 6:45-7:30 p.m. and 7:45-8:30 p.m.

Green Flash concert:
Wednesday, May 17 - Sunset: 7:51 p.m.
Performers: GARY SEILER WITH CROSSWINDS
Kick back and relax to Gary Seiler's Jimmy Buffet-style music, mixed
