Dixieland comes to Sequim tonight

SEQUIM — The upbeat sounds of North Olympic Peninsula Dixieland kings The Dukes of Dabob will permeate tonight’s free Concert in the Park.

The Dukes will perform at the James Center bandshell just north of Carrie Blake Park, 202 N. Blake Ave. from 6 p.m. to about 8 p.m.

All ages are welcome.

Bring a lawn chair or blanket. Tap your toes — or bring your dancing shoes and get up to dance to the band’s upbeat music.

Tote a picnic basket or grab some food from a downtown store or restaurant.

The Tuesday summer concerts are sponsored by Karl Allen and John Rigg of ADR Developers; Team McAleer; Clark Land Office; Gray and Osborne; William Littlejohn companies; Dungeness Courte; Lakeside Industries; Jarmuth Electric; Bekkevar Logging and Trucking; and Northwest Eye Surgeons; and Sequim This Week, the Peninsula Daily News’ free weekly newspaper for Sequim.

The PDN also co-sponsors two other free concerts:

  • Concert on the Pier every Wednesday on the Port Angeles City Pier (this week’s concert features the swingin’ sounds of George Snyder’s Big Band from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.).

  • Concert on the Dock in Port Townsend every Thursday night at the Quincy Street dock (behind Water Street Brewing) from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. (The Delta Rays play rock this week.)
