Westfield concerts/dance lessons

Weekly live outdoor free concerts and dance lessons return for a second year to The Promenade at Westfield Santa Anita this Friday.

Moonlight & Melodies (3-minute video of last year’s disco night) combines live performances at 6 p.m. by some of the area’s most popular bands with an open invitation to learn how to dance disco, salsa, fox trot, line dance and more with the pros from Pasadena Ballroom Dance Association at 6:45 and 7:30 p.m. Feel free to come with or without a dance partner. (Schedule below.)

Also available is a picnic supper with call-in orders at California Pizza Kitchen, Dave & Buster’s and Tokyo Table that can be eaten at the Moonlight & Melodies event. Guests who enjoy one of these restaurants during the event and bring in their receipts of $60 or more will get a $10 gift card for their next visit. Offer good while supplies last. Many of the food court eateries will also be offering special discounts; details in brochures available for pick-up.

In addition, for a suggested $5 donation, guests are invited to an exclusive pre-tasting experience of the Pasadena Wine Festival. Proceeds benefit the Arboretum Foundation and California Philharmonic.

Finally, guests can get a look at fall fashion trends on display along with store discounts
