Palmetto Superfoods and Rylee + Cru Headed to River Street Marketplace

River Street Marketplace, the 60,000-square-foot community destination in the heart of San Juan Capistrano’s historic Los Rios district, is welcoming two new tenants: Palmetto Superfoods and Rylee + Cru. The additions expand the marketplace’s growing mix of dining, shopping, and family-friendly experiences.

Palmetto Superfoods, a California-born superfood café, will open its first Orange County location at River Street Marketplace inside the River Street Rodeo dining hall. Founded in San Francisco, the café has built a strong following across the Bay Area for its customizable açaí bowls, functional smoothies, and thoughtfully sourced ingredients inspired by Brazilian roots and California wellness culture.

The new location will offer Palmetto’s full menu of build-your-own açaí bowls and functional smoothies, along with cold-pressed essential juices and a specialized matcha menu. The space will blend the brand’s modern tropical style with River Street Marketplace’s elevated Western design aesthetic.

Also joining the marketplace’s retail lineup is Rylee + Cru, which will open its third brick-and-mortar boutique this summer. The children’s clothing brand, founded in Southern California, is known for nostalgic prints, earthy tones, and cohesive seasonal collections designed with heirloom-quality craftsmanship. The brand’s other stores are located at The Forum Carlsbad and in New York City.

Rylee + Cru focuses on sustainable materials and ethical production and creates timeless pieces designed to be worn, loved, and passed down. The new boutique will occupy a portion of the former Meat Cellar space.

River Street Marketplace has also recently completed the installation of more than 13,000 square feet of turf throughout the center, expanding its open-air gathering areas and creating more space for children to play.

The updates reflect River Street Marketplace’s continued growth as a destination in South Orange County for shopping, dining, and spending time with family and friends.

Classical Mystery Tour: A Tribute to the Beatles

Imagine hearing The Beatles performed live with a full symphony orchestra. Audiences will get that experience on Friday, March 20, 2026, at 7:30 p.m., when Classical Mystery Tour returns to Segerstrom Center for the Arts for a special 30th anniversary concert.

This milestone performance celebrates three decades since Classical Mystery Tour’s very first concert, presented at Segerstrom Center (then called Orange County Performing Arts Center) in 1996. For this anniversary event, the acclaimed Beatles tribute will be joined by a 30-piece orchestra comprised of Pacific Symphony musicians, bringing the beloved Beatles catalogue to life as it was originally recorded.

Tickets range from $35 to $155 and are on sale now. There is an optional separate admission post-concert reception at The Silver Trumpet Restaurant (located within Avenue of the Arts Hotel) across the street from Segerstrom Center. Meet the band and enjoy appetizers, dessert, drinks, and live music. Price includes validated parking at the hotel for the evening (show and VIP reception), one drink ticket, and gratuity. Event limited to 50 people.

Visit SCFTA.org for tickets and more information. 

Far more than a tribute band, Classical Mystery Tour recreates the Beatles experience with remarkable authenticity. The four musicians look and sound just like The Beatles, delivering spot-on renditions of the hits fans know and love—from “Yesterday” and “Eleanor Rigby” to “All You Need Is Love,” “A Day in the Life,” and “Hey Jude.”

“The emotional and nostalgic connection that our show has for audiences is powerful,” says Jim Owen, Classical Mystery Tour’s founder and the show’s John Lennon. “We have some real show-stopping numbers like ‘A Day in the Life,’ which features an orchestral soundscape that is exciting to hear.”

Since debuting in Costa Mesa three decades ago, Classical Mystery Tour has:

• Performed with over 100 orchestras worldwide
• Played more than 1,000 concerts
• Appeared at major concert halls including the Sydney Opera House and with prestigious ensembles such as the Boston Pops
• Earned its reputation as the #1 Symphony Pops attraction in the United States

From the Beatles’ early years through their solo eras, the show offers audiences the chance to experience “The best of The Beatles like you’ve never heard them before.”

Tickets are available through Segerstrom Center for the Arts’ website and box office. Visit SCFTA.org for more information.
