It seems strange to breathe the word 'summer' in January, but the Kirkland Summer Concert volunteers are working hard to firm up the program for us now, so that we can enjoy the shows when the sun (hopefully) returns.  The concerts are paid for entirely through sponsorships and donations and sponsors are needed to support the 2013 series.  As a sponsor, you receive valuable print and media publicity, and the opportunity to set up a table at the events.  And, of course, a good feeling in your heart knowing that so many Kirklanders will be thankful for your generosity. 

The Kirkland Summer Concerts recently won the "Best of 2012" Award from Seattle Magazine for "Best Live Music Venue/Nightlife in Kirkland."  This past summer marked 35 years of free community concerts at Marina Park.  The lineup for 2013 will be announced soon (perhaps after you decide to sponsor?)...Thursday evening concerts will feature a variety of blues, swing, classic rock, Latin, and reggae bands.  Tuesday morning concerts will MOVE to Juanita Beach Park, which has ample onsite parking, a large beach and playground, and easy access to Juanita Village.
