Yakima Federal Downtown Summer Nights 2026

We’re thrilled to bring you another unforgettable season of Yakima Federal Downtown Summer Nights!

Thank you to our presenting sponsor Yakima Federal Savings and Loan, and the following community partners for supporting live music in downtown Yakima.

Downtown Summer Nights returns to the heart of Yakima with an exciting new season of live music, community, and connection. This year, we’re expanding to six high-energy concerts across June 11th, 25th, July 9th, 23rd, August 13th and 27th—each featuring both an opening act and a headlining band.

Join us on these Thursday evenings from 6–9 PM at the corner of South 2nd Street & Chestnut for free, all-ages shows that bring downtown to life. Enjoy great music, local food and drinks, and a welcoming atmosphere that celebrates everything we love about our community.

Come downtown, bring your friends and family, and experience the energy of summer in Yakima.
