Simi Scoop – July 17 – July 20 | Happy National Ice Cream Day
Your guide to live music, local events, and where to be this weekend in Simi.


Good morning, Simi Valley!
We’re halfway through July, and the only thing rising faster than the temps is the weekend fun. Between live music, summer theater finales, and a pop-tastic concert in the park — it’s officially peak Simi summer. And don’t forget... National Ice Cream Day is this Sunday. Ice cream calories don’t count when it’s 88° or hotter.
If you’re reading this, congrats — you’re officially in the know. Forward it to a friend who’s still asking, “What’s going on this weekend?” Because friends don’t let friends miss the Scoop.
In today’s Simi Scoop:
• 🍨 A free ice cream celebration for National Ice Cream Day
• 🎸 Bruno & Britney light up Rancho Simi Park
• 🎭 Final weekend to catch Newsies on stage
• 🧪 Clean out the garage with two city clean-up events
• And everything else happening in Simi July 17–20
