HAYWARD, CA — The H.A.R.D. Foundation and H.A.R.D. proudly present the Music at the Mansion Hayward Summer Concert Series, a free community concert experience hosted by Patrick Landeza.

Set against the historic backdrop of Mt. Eden Mansion in Hayward, Music at the Mansion is a three-part summer concert series featuring an exciting lineup of acclaimed Bay Area artists representing jazz, R&B, funk, blues, soul, and Latin music traditions. Guests are invited to enjoy live music, family-friendly activities, and a welcoming outdoor atmosphere designed to bring the community together through music and culture.

Admission is free, and guests are encouraged to bring friends, family, lawn chairs, or blankets and relax while enjoying performances from talented local musicians. Food, beverages, and specialty treats will be available for purchase from on-site vendors, and seating is available on a first-come, first-served basis.

Upgrade to a Donors Circle ticket and enjoy complimentary wine, beverages, and appetizers, and a meet-and-greet with the band while supporting the H.A.R.D. Foundation’s efforts to enhance parks, recreation programs, and community spaces throughout our district. A portion of your ticket purchase is tax-deductible and supports the Foundation’s charitable mission.
