Music tonight on the PT waterfront

PORT TOWNSEND — The sounds of the bayou will resonate from the Quincy Street Dock tonight.

Bayou Boogie hosts an all-ages Louisiana-style country Cajun street dance from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.

And it’s free!

Bring your dancing shoes or a lawn chair to sit on.

Park in the Point Hudson area — or walk in from one of the nearby downtown lots, or from uptown.

The stage near Quincy and Water streets is next to the newly renovated Cannery building and behind the Water Street Brewing and Ale House (formerly Maxwell’s).

Tonight’s is the third of 10 free outdoor summer concerts at the Quincy Street dock — “The Dock That Rocks!” — that will run every Wednesday night through Sept. 15.

The concerts are sponsored by Peninsula Daily News and Pennco Transportation.

Co-sponsors are the Port of Port Townsend and Port Townsend Chamber of Commerce.

Bayou Boogie plays traditional Cajun and zydeco music for dancing, including two-steps, waltzes, and more funky zydeco rhythms.
