A Smorgasbord of Arts Offerings
Make these performances part of your summer plans before it’s too late.

As the dog days of summer arrive, we are reminded during this period of intermission that not only is the fall arts season just around the corner, even in this quieter period for the performing arts, there is still plenty to get excited about. Tonight, live music and cooking unite on stage for Seattle Chamber Music Society’s Tasting Notes II, next week brings the smash pop hit jukebox musical & Juliet to the Paramount, and we’ve already got our eye on August’s lineup of free and accessible performances.
WALKDONTRUN invites the community to activate Seattle’s urban parks, sidewalks, plazas, and vacant storefronts with music, visual art, and performance along a 3-kilometer route from Pioneer Square to Belltown. Click to step into the know.
