Free music, movies come to park
EVERETT — Get ready for some free music that doesn’t involve downloading it on a computer.
Snohomish County offers its first-ever live concert series at Willis D. Tucker Community Park starting at 5 p.m. Sunday. Performances are scheduled each week through Aug. 23.
“We can wind down the weekend and hang out in the amphitheater,” Snohomish County parks director Tom Teigen said. “It really is a family-oriented series.”
This is the first year for the free concerts at Willis Tucker. Construction on the park’s amphitheater was finished last summer.
Cyndi Soup begins the series Sunday with music and puppetry for youngsters. Kelly and the Boys Band follows with some blues on Aug. 9, Alma Villegas with Latin rhythms on Aug. 16 and Valhalla Hill with folk-infused indie rock on Aug. 23.
Bring low-back lawn chairs and blankets for open seating on the grass. Snacks are available for purchase.
The concert series is one of many outlets in the county for free summer entertainment.
The county has been showing free movies on a 30-by-40-foot outdoor screen at Willis Tucker on Thursdays. They began July 16 and run through Aug. 20.
Other outdoor concerts are scheduled at the county campus in downtown Everett on Wednesdays at lunchtime.
Earlier this month, the park hosted Shakespeare plays staged by Last Leaf Productions.
