Downtown Summer Sounds Draws Record Crowds

This summer was music to our ears! More than 22,500 music lovers showed up and rocked out to 35 concerts over 11 weeks during our 45th annual Downtown Summer Sounds outdoor concert series. Westlake Park saw the largest attendance for the DRAMA concert, which drew more than 4,000 people, followed by Occidental Square, which drew nearly 3,000 people for eight combined concerts, and Bell Street Park, where 1,000 people gathered to hear native Seattleite Ryan Caraveo.

We also partnered with The Crocodile to host our first-ever indoor show featuring The Dandy Warhols.

In all, our 2024 attendance increased by more than 7,500 people. Thanks to presenting sponsor Amazon and Metropolitan Improvement District ratepayers for helping DSA/MID bring this programming to the center city. Downtown Summer Sounds will be back next July as we continue to create a healthy, vibrant downtown.
