From Dixieland Jazz to Latin guitar to Shakespeare, summer is a great time to enjoy outdoor music and entertainment on the lawn in downtown Edmonds. Each year, the Edmonds Arts Commission and its community partners sponsor eight summer concerts on Sundays at City Park, located at 3rd Avenue South and Pine Street. The commission on Monday released its schedule for this year, starting July 8.

All concerts are free, accessible to people with disabilities and open to the public. Bring a lawn chair or blanket and the entire family. In the event of rain, the concert will be canceled 30 minutes before show time.
