Sequimarimba to perform on Port Angeles pier tonight

PORT ANGELES — Sequimarimba, a perennial Peninsula favorite, will appear at Concert on the Pier tonight.

The seven-member band plays high-energy music of the Shona people from Zimbabwe in Africa.

Sequimarimba operates as a nonprofit venture, donating the majority of its earnings to local environmental and social causes

The two-concert, which is free and family-friendly, begins at 6 p.m. on City Pier.

Audience members often bring lawn chairs to sit on at these concerts.

Or arrive by 5:45 p.m. for one of the limited number of chairs on the pier.

Tote a picnic basket or grab some food from a downtown store or restaurant, or concessionaire at City Pier — or from the Wednesday Port Angeles Farmers Market on Laurel Street, between Front and First streets (next to The Toggery).

Music fans can bring non-alcoholic drinks. No beer or wine is allowed on City Pier.

There is plenty of parking in the area.

The Concerts on the Pier summer series is sponsored by Peninsula Daily News, KeyBank, Wilder Auto Center, Coldwell Banker Uptown Realty, Port Angeles Regional Chamber of Commerce and Port Angeles Parks and Recreation Department.

The series ends next Wednesday with an appearance by the rock band Jane and John Doe, which was postponed from Aug. 20 because of inclement weather.

A 65-foot-long historic tug rests in the Port of Port Townsend Boat Haven Marina’s 300-ton marine lift as workers use pressure washers to blast years of barnacles and other marine life off the hull. The tug was built for the U.S. Army at Peterson SB in Tacoma in 1944. Originally designated TP-133, it is currently named Island Champion after going through several owners since the army sold it in 1947. It is now owned by Debbie Wright of Everett, who uses it as a liveaboard. The all-wood tug is the last of its kind and could possibly be entered in the 2025 Wooden Boat Festival.(Steve Mullensky/for Peninsula Daily News)
