“Don’t Stop Believin’,’ is their anthem that turns up the heat and touches the crowd everywhere they, well, journey.

The band was formed in 1996 by professional musician Stu Simone and was the first Journey tribute band based in Los Angeles.

Food will be available for purchase or you can bring your own picnic.

Officials say the city relies 100 percent on sponsorships in order to hold the series.

There are many different levels of sponsorships ranging from $50 to $3,000.
