Olympic Gold Comes to Anaheim GardenWalk Music Series

ANAHEIM, Calif., Sept. 12 /PRNewswire/ -- It's an all-day community celebration at Anaheim GardenWalk this Saturday, September 13th in the Gala Garden! The morning kicks off at 11:30 a.m. with a recognition ceremony and autograph session to honor the 2008 Olympic gold medal-winning Men's Volleyball team hosted by the City of Anaheim. The celebration continues throughout the day crescendoing into a live concert with Latin sensation Louie Cruz Beltran taking the stage at 5:30 p.m. as part of the month-long Garden Party Music Series.

In 2006, Anaheim welcomed the U.S. Men's National team as they relocated their training headquarters from Colorado. This migration triggered unparalleled community support, including a special city-wide send-off celebration prior to the Beijing Olympics. Fresh off their triumphant and undefeated winning streak, Saturday's celebration will include appearances by Anaheim's "home" team of Volleyball Olympians, many of whom live in Orange County, Anaheim Mayor Curt Pringle, City Council members, and Men's Volleyball coach Hugh McCutcheon.

"These extraordinary athletes and their coach represented this great city on an international stage unlike any other, and I encourage all Anaheim residents to join us on Saturday to help celebrate this wonderful achievement," says Anaheim Mayor Curt Pringle.

Anaheim GardenWalk's Garden Party Music Series continues as Louie Cruz Beltran and his Latin Jazz Ensemble take the outdoor stage from 5:30 pm to 8:30 pm. Beltran and his ensemble are renowned for a stimulating show that mixes a crowd-pleasing repertoire of Brazilian and Afro-Cuban music with R&B, Salsa, and Reggae.

The Party continues on Saturday, September 20th with Billy Vera & The Beaters, performing their hit single "At this Moment," which ruled the charts for 15 weeks. Surf music sensations The Chantays bring their number one hit "Pipeline" to Anaheim GardenWalk to wrap up the series on September 27th.

Start your morning on September 27th with Harley-Davidson as they take over Anaheim GardenWalk with a Motorcycle & Fashion show that includes an antique bike display, bike show and judging, prizes, food tasting and more.

Restaurants and shops will keep late hours for those interested in shopping or dining after the concert.
