A third evening of free outdoor music is added this week as Port Townsend begins its Concerts on the Dock series Thursday.

Port Townsend’s summer concerts join Tuesday’s Music in the Park in Sequim and Wednesday’s Concerts on the Pier in Port Angeles.

Bring chairs and a picnic dinner, or partake of food vendors at these family-friendly events.

Blankets and warm clothing may be in order since nights can be cool.

This week’s schedule is:

SEQUIM — Tuesday, Locos Only (rock and blues) 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.

Sequim’s Music in the Park series is every Tuesday through Aug. 27 at the outdoor James Center amphitheater in the Sequim Water Reuse Park, 563 N. Rhodefer Road, just north of Carrie Blake Park.

Don’t forget to bring your own seating to the grassy expanse.

“Bubble Man” — Greg Bondy, who provides entertainment for kids at Concert on the Pier with chalk for pavement drawing and a bubble-making machine — is running low on supplies and would appreciate donations.

Boxes of colored “sidewalk chalk” and bottles of bubble-making “super soap” can be brought to the concerts, or dropped off for him at Hartnagel Building Supply, 3111 E. U.S. Highway 101, Port Angeles.
