Come early for lunch at a great local restaurant. Then bring your low-slung chair, blankets, and dessert or snacks to Harbor Plaza for the free jazz concert at Solano and Main Streets.

When you come to the Waterfront District these days you will notice some really exciting construction projects underway.

Right off Highway 12 at Civic Center Blvd, a new Hampton Inn & Suites Hotel is under construction. This 102-room waterfront hotel is expected to open next Spring and provide a terrific place to stay overnight right in the heart the burgeoning Waterfront District. (Click here for more information.)

On Main Street at Solano Street (right across from the Harbor Plaza concert stage), 40,000 square feet of restaurant, retail and office space is nearing completion. Harbor Square is expected to be completed this fall with exciting new restaurants to open there in early 2009. (Click here for more information.)

Come see Waterfront District renaissance, then grab a friend to come explore the Waterfront District again for yourselves.

Fridays Jam in Suisun City

Friday Nights @ The Waterfront are back for 2008 bringing more music and more fun to the Suisun City Waterfront District.

The free annual concert series got underway on July 11 with an amazing performance by Evolution - A Salute to Journey. The award-winning tribute band brought the house down with all of Journey's top hits.
