The 21st season of Point Loma Summer Concerts explored the age-old question among lovers of 1960s rock ‘n’ roll: Beatles or Rolling Stones?

The July 28 concert at Point Loma Community Park staged Beatles vs. Stones for a large crowd, continuing this year’s theme of “Music Through the Decades.” Previous concerts featured the 1940s and an Elvis Presley tribute for the 1950s.

Two more shows remain this season:

• Friday, Aug. 4: Full Strength (Disco Night) (1970s)

• Friday, Aug. 11: DSB (Journey tribute) (1980s)

All concerts are free and run from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. Point Loma Community Park is at 1049 Catalina Blvd.

Proceeds from sales of raffle tickets at each concert go to local schools and music-related nonprofits.
