West Seattle Summer Fest – next Friday, Saturday, Sunday (July 11-13) in the heart of The Junction – is the main event, but Summer Fest Eve (Thursday, July 10) gets bigger all the time. It’s always the same night as July’s West Seattle Art Walk, which this time includes The Art of Music mini-concerts (not just in The Junction). Here’s the announcement from Art of Music coordinator John Redenbaugh:

The next free admission Art of Music performances presented by the West Seattle Junction Association are coming up on Second Thursday Art Walk rvening July 10 (Summer Fest Eve) at seven locations — five of them are in the Alaska Junction (click here to view the Alaska Junction Summer Fest Eve flier featuring all five). Musicians will perform from 6 pm to 7:45 pm (with one 15-minute break at the midpoint).
