The City of Santa Clarita’s Thursdays@Newhall series continues in September with a mix of music, dancing, parties and other events.

Thursdays@Newhall is an ongoing opportunity for residents of Santa Clarita to attend free shows and concerts and relax with friends on Thursday nights in Old Town Newhall.

Mexican folk dance starts the month on a festive note on September 7 from 7-9:00 p.m. at JAM Sessions. Ballet Folklorico Ollin will teach dancers to move to the vibrant music of Veracruz. Mariachi Tesoro de San Fernando, an award-winning youth mariachi ensemble that won the National Arts and Humanities Youth Award from the White House in 2012, will perform live music. The night will end with a fandango dance for the entire community. JAM Sessions is hosted in conjunction with the Ford Theatre Foundation, bringing dance and original live performances to the Old Town Newhall Library, located at 24500 Main Street.

Also on September 7, at The MAIN, located at 24266 Main Street, 10 performers will take the stage for 10 minutes each and share their comedy, storytelling, short films and music at the monthly 10 by 10 show from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. Performances this month include music by Tom Renaud, The New Mexican and Heather Lockie, storytelling with Kat High and Claire Partin, comedy from Aiden Park and Jeanne Whitney, magic with Raul Fernandez, ventriloquism by Dan Sachoff, and a showing of the short film “DA CAPO.”

From 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. on September 14, American Classics will line Main Street for the Revved Up car show, presented by State Farm. Residents can enjoy food trucks and purchase adult beverages from Persia Lounge while checking out pre-1974 American-made cars and trucks.

At the same time on September 14, local songwriters will perform their original works at Note by Note inside The MAIN, located at 24266 Main Street.
