Is it just us or did May FLY by? It feels like just yesterday that we celebrated Mother’s Day and May the 4th, but now it’s already JUNE.

June is bringing a NEW celebration to Disneyland. This marks Black Music Month, and there will be tons of new things to do AND EAT during Disneyland’s big celebration.

During the month of June, visitors to Downtown Disney can get their groove on with live band performances nightly at the Downtown Disney LIVE! stage. Different genres of music will be featured, including Jazz Fusion, Caribbean, and Mid-Century Jazz. Disney has more than 17 musical groups lined up to perform, with four performance sets each night.

Live music can also be heard daily through June 30th at the Hollywood Backlot Stage in Disney California Adventure. Visitors will be able to check out performances by groups like Midnight Hour, Finesse, and The Rhythm & Blues Brothas.

Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa will also have daily performances of music from acts like DJ Quami, Island Reggae Duo, and da-light.
