Malibu Creek State Park is located in the Santa Monica Mountains. The address for the park's main gate is 1925 Las Virgenes Road, Calabasas, CA 91302. Parking next to the site is $12, or find free parking on Mulholland Drive if you don't mind a 3/4 mile walk.

This spot is great for a day date too! We actually have been here before because I recognized the M*A*S*H site. Yup, this is the film set for the old TV show series, MASH. We plan on going again for more hiking and outdoor rock climbing before the concert. Next time I also want to check out the rest of the park, including Century Lake. For hiking trail maps, camping and other info, click HERE.

Wooden benches surround the outdoor stage and a bonfire will be lit. For your comfort, picnic blankets and lanterns or flashlights would be nice. Based on a 10-day forecast, sunshine is expected with a high of 75, but after sunset at 7:11 PM, the temperature will drop to a low of 47, so bundle up. There will be a break if you want to mix and mingle or break out a picnic for dinner. No alcohol is permitted, but coffee, hot cocoa and tea will be provided. The concert will rap up by 8:30 PM, so that leaves time to continue the fun!
