Free outdoor concert today in Sequim (with list of other free concerts this week in Sequim, Port Angeles, Port Townsend)

Pack up your favorite comfort food — along with blankets and lawn chairs to sit on — and stake out your spot at a free and family-friendly outdoor concert this week.

Enjoy the free music and share time with family and friends.
