The city of Beverly Hills is hosting an evening of dynamic live music and family-friendly entertainment with the 6th Annual NEXT NIGHT Street Festival on Saturday, Sept. 23, from 4-9 p.m.

The free event hosted each year by the city of Beverly Hills in partnership with the Next Beverly Hills Committee will feature food trucks, art, games and attractions as well as a beer and wine garden. Businesses along South Beverly Drive will also be offering unique experiences and promotions throughout the evening.

“Thank you to the Next Beverly Hills Committee for organizing another spectacular NEXT NIGHT out. I love the fact that our next generation leaders have created an event for the entire community – young, older and everything in-between,” Mayor Julian Gold said. “This is an opportunity for all of us to come to South Beverly Drive to celebrate our community. We look forward to seeing everyone there.”

NEXT NIGHT’s headline performance will be by The Legendary Wailers featuring Junior Marvin performing iconic Bob Marley hits including “One Love,” “Three Little Birds,” “No Woman No Cry,” “Get Up Stand Up” and “Is This Love.”

“NEXT NIGHT is a perfect way for residents of all ages to reconnect and get involved with the community,” Next Beverly Hills Committee Chair Noah Etessami said. “We want everyone to come out and enjoy the music and what Beverly Hills has to offer.”

DJ Keybo returns to keep everyone dancing, and there will be special performances by the Beverly Hills High School Madrigals, Drum Line, Dance Team and theatrical students.

“Last year, over 5,000 community members showed up and had a blast, and this year we have added even more to enjoy. It’s not to be missed,” NEXT NIGHT Chair Tiffany Davis said. “We hope everyone will celebrate the end of summer with top entertainment, great food, activities for all ages, and great deals from local merchants.”

The festival will begin in the 200 block of South Beverly Drive with a full street closure between Charleville Drive and Gregory Way from 6 p.m. on Sept. 22 until 4 a.m. on Sept. 24.
