Free live, local music is back in downtown Seattle all summer long! With nearly 40 performances from July 7-Sept. 8, Downtown Summer Sounds 2023 continues a four-decade DSA tradition of bringing outdoor summer concerts to downtown workers, residents and visitors. From glitch-hop and neo-folk to indie pop, country and rock, there’s a genre for everyone. Join us at Westlake Park, Occidental Square, Bell Street Park and more spots across downtown, and enjoy some of the best local talent from around the Pacific Northwest.

The fun begins Friday, July 7 with a one-night-only show featuring R&B singer-songwriter UMI, a local YouTube sensation who made her Coachella debut earlier this year. UMI brings their neo-soul sound vibrations to Westlake Park at 4:30 p.m.

The Downtown Summer Sounds concert series is funded by Metropolitan Improvement District ratepayers.
