Free outdoor concerts planned across Peninsula

The Navy Band of the Northwest will perform in Sequim on Tuesday as the next installment of the Music in the Park series.

Black Door Alley will play folk rock at Port Angeles’ Concerts on the Pier on Wednesday.

The High Council will perform “music for the head” at Port Townsend’s Concerts on the Dock on Thursday.

All three outdoor concerts on the North Olympic Peninsula are free. Attendees are encouraged to cozy up with chairs, blankets and picnic dinners.

Music in the Park

The concerts are sponsored by Homer Smith Insurance, Kitsap Credit Union, Uptown Pub & Grill, Windermere Real Estate, LaughinGnome Pottery, KPTZ 91.9 FM, the Peninsula Daily News and the city of Port Townsend.
