Downtown Summer Nights

There are plenty of events that state the usual stuff to get people out of the house. Stuff like live music, beer garden, food vendors -- and they're all very important. What caught my eye about this year's Downtown Summer Nights was the fact that US Cellular is providing a cellphone charging station. It's exactly what you think it is. A place where you can charge your phones so you can take more

Here we go! Starting this week, another season of Downtown Summer Nights is set to fill your Thursday evenings with music and laughter all summer! The food will be excellent and so will the drinks! It all starts again this Thursday (June 16) from 5:30-9 p.m. at our new location -- Front Street.

Any way you want to score it, it's been a hot summer. But this isn't the Weather Channel. We're talking about the music for the past few months at Downtown Summer Nights.

They seem like the kind of guys who'd fit right in around here -- quick, broad smiles, strong handshakes and suntanned faces that would look at home behind the wheel of a John Deere in an open field. And the Olson boys -- Luke and Isaac of the Olson Brothers Band -- will likely feel at home this week when they come to town to play Yakima's Downtown Summer Nights...

Downtown Summer Nights has been fantastic this summer. We have had some awesome talent come through -- country, blues and rock.. I am a true rocker, but this Thursday is bringing all of it.

That was some enchanted evening. Ayron Jones and The Way, Daniel Kirkpatrick & The Bayonets, and Whitney Monge played some hot licks on a cool summer evening as Yakima turned out by the hundreds for another party at Downtown Summer Nights. ...

We are always in need of something fun to do in Yakima Valley. We have had some fun times this summer. Downtown Summer Nights has been amazing, especially the 'Van Eps' night with KATS-FM. Now 'Second Saturday' is in play. The Downtown Association is putting together 'Second Saturday' for all of us to have even more fun in Yakima Valley!
