The Walnut Creek Concert Band: The official band of the city of Walnut Creek, whose repertoire spans from Gershwin and Copland to Sinatra and Sousa, will present its Labor Day concert 6 p.m. at Civic Park. Stop by with a blanket or picnic. The concert is free.

And, a beautiful romance, courtesy of Center Repertory Company: Center Rep presents the original 1930s musical on which several films, including the 1998 Tom Hanks-Meg Ryan romantic comedy You've Got Mail, were based. All versions depict two professional colleagues who initially clash in person before discovering that they are soul mates through an anonymous pen pal relationship. She Loves Me is from the same team that created Fiddler on the Roof, and it started out as Parfumerie, set in Budapest by Hungarian playwright Miklos Laszlo. You can see the show tonight and Saturday night at 8 p.m. and for a Sunday matinee at 2:30 pm. The show continues through October 10. Lesher Center for the Arts, www.lesherartscenter.org
