The Golden Gate Brass Band is planning a celebration of the 75th Anniversary of the Golden Gate Bridge for Sunday, 5-6 p.m., with a free concert at the Piccolo Pavilion in Old Corte Madera Square.  “Musical Bridges to 1937” will include great standard tunes like “Happy Days Are Here Again” and “Puttin’ on the Ritz”.

Bring the family, a blanket or camp chairs for sitting on the grass, and maybe a picnic dinner.  Relax and enjoy live music with friends and neighbors.
