Summer Nights Shine at SkyPark at Santa’s Village: Live Concerts, Skating & Mountain Magic
Nestled in the pine-covered hills of Skyforest in the San Bernardino Mountains, SkyPark at Santa’s Village transforms into one of the Inland Empire’s best summer destinations. Just a short drive from Lake Arrowhead, Big Bear, and the rest of the IE, this four-season mountain playground delivers cooler temperatures, fresh air, and a packed calendar of family-friendly fun — with live music taking center stage.
Tunes in the Trees: The Mountain’s Favorite Concert Series
The highlight of summer at SkyPark is the popular Tunes in the Trees concert series. Every Friday evening from late May through October, guests gather under the trees for live music from 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM. The atmosphere is pure mountain magic: golden-hour light filtering through the pines, dancing under the stars, and the relaxed vibe of a local outdoor venue.
Recent and upcoming 2026 lineup highlights include:
- Anthem Road
- One More Night (Phil Collins tribute)
- Yachty By Nature (yacht rock party)
- Like Zeppelin
- The Burning Doors (The Doors tribute)
Concerts are included with a regular SkyPark Day Pass or Annual Pass. For those coming just for the show, special $25 Tunes in the Trees tickets grant concert admission, parking, and access to available park attractions starting at 4:00 PM. Doors typically open early so visitors can grab dinner at St. Nick’s Patio & Grille or Billy’s BBQ House and enjoy the Pedal Pub before the music starts. Seating is first-come, first-served, and these shows are known to sell out — advance tickets are strongly recommended.
More Summer Fun Beyond the Music
SkyPark keeps the energy going with plenty of additional summer programming:
- Fantasy Forest Skate Nights – Every Friday and Saturday evening, lace up at the mountain’s outdoor skating rink for themed skate parties under the stars (rock, country, disco, 80s, and more). Tickets include skate rentals and access to the Fantasy Forest light trail.
- SkyPark Stampede – A lively country-themed evening featuring live music, mechanical bull riding, line dancing lessons, and a honky-tonk skate party. Perfect for anyone ready to break out their cowboy boots.
- Toddler Time – Special Thursday morning activities designed for ages 5 and under, including crafts, sensory play, nature walks, and themed adventures.
- Daily attractions such as mountain biking trails, the historic B-Rail, ax throwing, character meet-and-greets with the NorthWoods crew, and scenic train rides.
Whether you’re looking for a romantic evening of live music, a family day of outdoor adventure, or a cooler alternative to the valley heat, SkyPark at Santa’s Village delivers a uniquely Inland Empire mountain experience.
