We are excited to bring back Downtown Summer Nights after two years off due to the pandemic. See our 2022 schedule below!
Downtown Summer Nights (DSN) is a weekly block party on Historic North Front Street in the heart of Yakima. This FREE 10-week get together features live music, craft beverages, and food. DSN has become “the place to be” on Thursday nights during the summer. Put on by the Downtown Association of Yakima along with a myriad of partners, there is something for everyone at Downtown Summer Nights.
Each week two bands perform live for FREE. Many of the bands have national and regional followings. Folks can grab a bite to eat from local food vendors or enjoy a cold refreshment in the beer garden featuring local craft beverages, find a spot to relax, and enjoy the music or visit with their neighbors. Join us for Downtown Summer Nights!

Bands start at 6PM and play until 9PM.
Each week features a 21+ Beer Garden pouring the best beer, wine and cider the Yakima Valley has to offer.
Bring the whole family and enjoy arts and crafts with the kiddos at the Activities Area. Don’t forget your concert chairs if you’d like to relax in front of the main stage to enjoy the tunes. Pack your dancing shoes and grab a partner to dance the evening away under the setting sun or snap a few photos in the sidewalk photo booth.
Enjoy shopping a variety of local food, merchandise and informational vendors which line the street every week.
ATM will be available for spending at any “cash only” vendor. And for the especially hot nights take a moment to cool off in the misting tents.
