Final free concerts in Port Angeles, Port Townsend series set Wednesday

Goodbye, summer music.

The last of the season’s weekly concerts — Port Angeles’ Concert on the Pier and Port Townsend’s Concerts on the Docks — are scheduled this week.

Both are free and open to the public.

The days are getting shorter and a little chillier; families may want to bring jackets or sweaters, along with chairs or blankets to sit on, for these final concerts.

Sequim’s last performance in its Music in the Park series was last Tuesday.

Both of this week’s concerts will be Wednesday.

Port Townsend has moved up the date of its last concert a day because introductory ceremonies for the three-day Wooden Boat Festival, which begins Friday, will be at 5:30 p.m. Thursday in the Pope Marine Park performance space.

Here is this week’s schedule:

■ Port Angeles Concert on the Pier — Wednesday, 6 p.m. to 8 p.m., Cort Armstrong and Blue Rooster (country blues and fiddle tunes).

The concert will be held as usual at the bandstand at City Pier.

City Pier is a no-smoking, no-skateboards, alcohol-free venue.

Some chairs are available for disabled people and early arrivals.

The concerts have been sponsored by the Port Angeles Regional Chamber of Commerce, city of Port Angeles and local businesses.

■ Port Townsend Concerts on the Dock — Wednesday, 5:30 p.m. to 8 p.m., The Pitfalls and The Low Ones, at Pope Marine Park-City Dock Civic Plaza, Water Street and Madison Street, in downtown Port Townsend.

The concerts have been sponsored by local businesses, the Port Townsend Main Street Program, Puget Sound Energy and the city of Port Townsend.

Food vendors and a beer and wine garden are available. Seating opens at 5 p.m.
