From the Mayor's Desk: August 29, 2025

A new season of musical and theatrical entertainment is officially underway at the Cerritos Center for the Performing Arts (CCPA), and patrons have been out in force to experience all that this beautiful venue has to offer.

I was thrilled to join my City Council colleagues at the Theater last weekend to enjoy R&B sensation Boyz II Men, who entertained sold-out shows on back-to-back nights. In recent weeks, crowds also packed the CCPA to see Blues legend Buddy Guy and Pop icon Dionne Warwick, when special guests Kingfish and Stevie Wonder made appearances, respectively.

For over 30 years, our renowned and state-of-the-art CCPA has brought iconic shows and up-and-coming performers to our City, entertaining people of all ages and helping to stimulate our local economy.

Coming up in September, spectators can enjoy Rock group Kansas, hits from the 1990s during 90s Mixtape Live, R&B and Soul music with The Temptations & The Four Tops, Country star Trace Adkins, and more. View the full lineup of upcoming shows and book your tickets at cerritoscenter.com.
