SEQUIM — Tuesday night kicks off the summer’s first Sequim Music & Movie in the Park.

Deadwood Revival, a local band specializing in old-time folk songs and the group’s own popular compositions, opens the series of 12 outdoor concerts every Tuesday night through Sept. 9 in the James Center band shell just north of Carrie Blake Park, 202 N. Blake Ave.

The concert from 6 p.m. to about 8:30 p.m. will be followed by a movie, “Daddy Day Camp,” a comedy in which Cuba Gooding Jr. plays a dad who doesn’t know how to run Camp Driftwood — but does it anyway with help from a flock of teenage campers.

Admission is free. All ages are welcome.

Bring a lawn chair or blanket.

Tap your toes — or bring your dancing shoes and get up to dance to the band’s upbeat music.

Tote a picnic basket or grab some food from a downtown store or restaurant.

The Tuesday concerts are sponsored by Karl Allen and John Rigg of ADR Developers; Team McAleer; Clark Land Office; Gray and Osborne; William Littlejohn companies; Dungeness Courte; Lakeside Industries; and Sequim This Week, the Peninsula Daily News’ free weekly newspaper for Sequim.

The PDN also co-sponsors two other free concerts —

  • Concert on the Pier every Wednesday on the Port Angeles City Pier (this Wednesday is Dukes of Dabob, Dixieland jazz, from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.).

  • Concert on the Dock in Port Townsend every Thursday night at the Quincy Street dock (behind Water Street Brewing) from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. July 3 through Sept. 4.
