Get Your Dance Cards Ready: Kirkland Summer Concerts Begin in July

The summer concert series begins July 9, with children's concerts moving this summer to Juanita Beach Park, and adult concerts taking place Thursday nights at Marina Park.

Are you ready for summer? If not, it's time to get out those dance cards and prepare to be rocked in Kirkland.

This summer's concert lineup includes something for everyone, and the children's concerts are being relocated this year to Juanita Beach Park, after 35 years at Marina Park. Organizers say the change allows people to take advantage of the new beach, playground area, and ample onsite parking. The Thursday evening concerts will remain at Marina Park. 

Kirkland summer concert series is being supported by Bassline Fitness, MRM Consulting, Waste Management, and Kirkland Kiwanis

More information is available at KirklandSummerConcerts.org.
