There are few activities more satisfying on a warm summer evening than listening to live music outdoors — especially when the cost is absolutely free. For years, Bellinghamsters have enjoyed free outdoor summer concerts in city parks and downtown. This year’s lineup is as promising as ever, with a variety of musical styles represented. Expect lots of funk, blues, and rock and roll. But most of all, expect a rollicking good time. With abundant tunes, sunshine, food trucks, bikes and bare feet, it doesn’t get much more Bellingham than this.
Put on by the City of Bellingham’s Parks and Recreation department, Concerts in the Park is a summer-long series held at three of Bellingham’s finest city parks. Food is available for purchase at all three venues, with local food trucks serving up the goods. Biking, walking, and taking the bus are always encouraged at these events, as parking fills up fast. Bring a blanket and some snacks, and get ready to dance!
