EVERETT — Come pound the streets of downtown Everett with your fingers.
Street Tunes, the annual event that lets everybody be a musician, is back after a pandemic hiatus.
Eight pianos were rolled out of storage this week for the interactive art project sponsored by the city with business and community partners as host locations for the pianos.

Artists painted the colorful pianos. Each piano has a theme and title to go with it.
People of all ages are encouraged to step up and play.

All sounds are welcome, whether it’s “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star” or Beethoven’s “Piano Concerto No. 5.”
In this arena, even random key strikes are beautiful music.
The pianos will roll back into storage Sept. 14.
