(Published Saturday, Aug. 7, 2010)

Ganesha Park will be bustling with activity today (Sat. Aug 7) as part of the Pomona Music Fest.

Activities begin with the Kiwanis Classic Car Show which kicks off at 10 a.m. and concludes at 3 p.m.

At 2 p.m. the Pomona Music Fest begins at the G. Stanton Selby Bandshell behind the Ganesha Park Community Center, 1575 N. White Ave.

The free show, organized by members of the city's Cultural Arts Commission, will feature three bands representing diverse musical styles, said Ernesto Campos, Cultural Arts commissioner and chairman of commission's Music Fest sub-committee.

The show begins with a performance of the Sugar Mountain Mama Serenade, a collective folk band.

Next on the program will be the Dwight Trible Jazz Band.

Headlining the event will be The Heat, a group that performs classic rock, Rhythm & Blues and Latin music.

The Pomona Music Fest provides residents a strong mix of music while they enjoy a picnic at the park in a relaxing, family environment, Campos said.

The show was put on with the help of donations and the assistance of the Los Angeles County Arts Commission.
