Downtown Summer Nights

July is anti-boredom month around America, so we looked close to home in the Yakima Valley and found five reasons why you don't have to be bored this summer.

It's exhausting trying to find a way to beat the heat in the Yakima Valley especially if you don't have air conditioning. Doing our best to survive last summer we found 5 places you can cool off.

Downtown Summer Nights begins this Thursday and runs through mid-August! Don't miss your chance for free fun and music under the sun in downtown Yakima, WA!

Jayleigh Ann & The Lost Boys open tonight's get-together on historic North Front Street -- the next-to-last installment of this year's Downtown Summer Nights.

Grab some sweet gear by your favorite artists! Who knows? Maybe they will sign it! :)

Solarity Credit Union presents Downtown Summer Nights. With the Downtown Association of Yakima. Chinook fest brings in the Bootleg Sunshine and Blake Noble for your live music.

Rafael Tranquilino and the Olson Band lit up North Front Street as Yakima's favorite street party returned. We were there, too -- and we took some pics!

Downtown Summer Nights kicks off this evening on North Front Street with the beer garden opening at 5:30 and free music beginning at 6 p.m.! All ages welcome!

Downtown Summer Nights, approaching its seventh year as one of Yakima's signature community events, has unveiled the musical line-up for the 2019 10-week concert series.

I accept that it will continue to get colder, that I have to find all my scarves, beanies and coats, but at least I can also have a moment where I pretend it's summer again. Wanna try it? :)

A big thank-you to Solarity Credit Union, Downtown Association of Yakima and Chinook Fest for a great summer concert series!

The Yakima Police Department's Lip Sync Challenge has been accepted and completed! Way to go Yakima! "Don't Stop Believing" in our beautiful valley!
