Paso Pops

Paso Pops, the annual Paderewski Festival-sponsored patriotic concert and Independence Day celebration in Paso Robles combining wine, beer, food, family-friendly activities, live music, and fireworks, will be held on Thursday, July 4.

The program for the Independence Day show is under development but will continue the popular patriotic theme of the past last three years, headlined by the San Luis Obispo Symphony and its new conductor Andrew Sewell.  Paso Wine Man, Casey Biggs, will emcee Paso Pops for the fourth consecutive year. Additional new features include carnival rides for small children, plus shade and wind protection.

Food trucks again will be available but guests may also bring picnics.  Wine and beer will be available for purchase; no outside alcohol will be permitted.

Tickets range again from $30 for General Admission in the Event Center’s bleacher seats (no blankets or chairs needed) to $2,500 for sponsored President tables that include wine tasting, gourmet buffet, wine and beer, and reserved parking.  Vice President tables at $750 include wine tasting and VIP parking.  Discounts will again be provided to the active and retired military with ID, students with ID and seniors over 60.  Up to two children, 12 and under are free with paid adult General Admission.
