Summer at SAM

Thu Jul 18 2024

6–8 pm

Olympic Sculpture Park

Grounds and Pavilion

Play, picnic, and create this summer at the Olympic Sculpture Park! SAM presents an entire summer season packed full of programs that combine visual art, music, and community. All Summer at SAM programs are free, public, and suitable for all ages. There is no outside alcohol permitted in the Olympic Sculpture Park.

Thursday evenings bring the party with performances by Seattle-based musicians, hands-on art activities to inspire your creativity, and rotating local food trucks.

Sonic Guild Concerts
Jul!et’s catchy melodies and satisfyingly sassy lyrics assert her as an irresistible new voice in indie pop.

Parisalexa, Seattle’s premiere triple hyphenate—singer-songwriter-producer, is back forging her own brand of R&B soul-tinged pop.

Art Activity
Grow your personal goals like a plant in this painting activity by Esmeralda Vasquez of The Feels Foundation, a local art organization that nurtures community and the creative brilliance of Black and Brown artists.

Dinner & Drinks
Grab a bite during the concert from local food trucks Neighborhood Cafe and Delfino’s Pizza. Additional snacks and beverages will be available for purchase from Shooby Doo Catering in the PACCAR Pavilion.
