Saturday, July 26 at 1:00 PM Monmouth Taiko Japanese Drum Band

Kick off the series at the Newport Performing Arts Center with a thrilling performance by the Monmouth Taiko Japanese Drum Band. This high-energy cultural experience highlights the power and artistry of traditional Japanese drumming. This powerhouse ensemble has energized audiences across the Pacific Northwest for more than 20 years.

Friday, August 8 – Sunset Concert at the Don & Ann Davis Park

Soak in the summer atmosphere with an evening of live music:

• 7:00–8:30 PM: Space Neighbors gets the party started with their vibrant, retro future classics. Their music can be described as a blend of dancey funk, meaningful lyrics, and improvisational fun.

• 8:45-9:45 PM: Tyler Spencer headlines with his signature didge beat fusion—a one-of-a-kind solo performance combining live didgeridoo with self-produced beats. His show has been described as rhythmic, otherworldly, and capable of transforming a captivated crowd into a dance party. Attendees 21+ are welcome to enjoy drinks on the Allred Patio, located across the street, while watching the concert. We extend our sincere thanks to The Allred Hotel for welcoming concertgoers to enjoy this unique viewing experience from their beautiful outdoor space.

Wrap up the concert series with local favorite The Tsunami Zone, known for their lively mix of classics and crowd-pleasers. Join us at Don & Ann Davis Park for an upbeat evening of community celebration.
