Last year, a few days after the fourth of July, Seattle sensation UMI drew a massive crowd to Westlake Park to kick off the Downtown Summer Sounds series. Attendees got to catch the R&B songstress, known to hold sound bath sessions and text fans daily affirmations, shortly after her first Coachella performance.
Organized and produced by the Downtown Seattle Association, the series brings free live music from local performers to numerous outdoor venues from July through September. In 2023, an estimated 17,000 people enjoyed the over 40 performances popping up in places like City Hall Plaza, Occidental Square, and Lake Union Park.
