Concert on the Dock Moves Indoors

Concerts on the Dock continued every Thursday through August 24 at Pope Marine Park in downtown Port Townsend. But, due to the weather forecast, the final Thursday’s concert is now moved indoors to the American Legion Hall across Water Street. We want to keep people safe, and dancing in the lightning is definitely not, if you remember the recent pyrotechnics display.

KPTZ is a proud media partner of Concerts on the Dock. For more information visit PTMainstreet.org.
