Free Concert in the Park

Most Sequim residents and regular visitors know of our free Sequim concert Tuesday nights during the summer months. Living next to Carrie Blake Park, we have all the advantages this wonderful park has to offer: walks and bike rides, watch Sequim the wild life like Canadian Geese, ducks, herons and of course, listening to the free concerts on Tuesdays. Even when we don't visit the concert, we can hear the music from the Park on our balcony.

Sequim Summer 2008 is slowly going to an end - right now it feels it has just arrived in Sequim with unusual high summer temperatures around 82 F - and with it the free concerts in the Park too. Concerts will continue through September in James Center bandshell just north of Carrie Blake Park. All ages are welcome. For all our Sequim visitors on vacation, here are the concerts which are still coming up for August and September:

August 19 - Kevin Magner and M'ellange mix original rock, folk and blues.
August 26 - Electric Blue Sun plays original jazz fusion. Followed by Move ' Over the Hedge'.
September 2 - Jubilee offers bluegrass and country
September 9 - The Stardust Big Band serves up swing.

You may park your car in the area around the stage. Bring your lawn chairs or blanket. It's a great place for a family picnic. Enjoy the fun. Even if you don't come prepared for a picnic, there is always a hot dog stand to help out. BTW, it's a great place for those who check out Sequim town as a place to retire to meet Sequim residents and hear what made them move to Sequim. There must be a good reason that so many people from Hawaii retire in Sequim!
