Music in the Park Showdown
Since 1989, the Music in the Park summer concert series has rocked downtown San Jose's central park with great live music from big names and rising talents with a family friendly atmosphere.
Thank you for being with us every step of the way on this journey to find the BEST Music in the Park show yet!
We've had 236 unforgettable concerts across 30 amazing seasons and you helped us narrow it all down to one show.
Now, without further ado, our winner is...

It was a tight final round between J Boog and WAR and each group's fanbase put up a good fight in the comments. Both acts have created unforgettable memories in Plaza de Cesar Chavez, but we can only have one winner.
Congratulations to J Boog!

Here's how it all went down from 32 acts to our winner. J Boog appeared at Music in the Park Aug. 23, 2019 in front of a packed Plaza Park. J Boog's road to the title was tough -- defeating local favorite Greg Kihn in the opening round, The Delfonics -- another 2019 performer -- classic reggae artist Eek-A-Mouse and the great Brenton Wood to meet WAR -- a 2018 concert -- in the finals.
Thank you to all our past Music in the Park acts and to everyone who voted each week. We couldn't have done this without you. Hopefully this showdown brought back some fond memories. Great shows all!
We're so glad you went on the search for the BEST show ever with us. As we head into 2021, there will be many more amazing shows to come.
We'll see you soon!
