none for the Tacoma area?
There is one coming up at Charles Wright that I need to add. Metro Parks Tacoma does summer bash events with movies and entertainment that we’ve listed in the outdoor movies post. They don’t do concerts like this. There are quite a few kid friendly shows hosted by Tacoma Public Libraries in the summer. Hope that helps!
Don’t forget the music in Tacoma’s Old Town every Wednesday. Great for kids with the big lawn and playground.
We stuck specifically to concerts or shows with children’s entertainers for this list, but thanks for the recommendation. Sounds like those would be good for the whole family to try!
There is also Buckley Summer Series. The concerts are listed on the website http://www.cityofbuckley.com/summerseries.
Thanks, Monica!
