An exciting summer is on the way in the city of Yakima with lots of great entertainment downtown, says city Economic Development Director Sean Hawkins.

Among other things, he says, the city this year is holding more Cruise the Avenue events.

"Last year we did one cruise event and it was very popular," Hawkins says. "So this year we're working our downtown association for cruise events on the second Saturday in June, July, August and September."

Hawkins says along with the Cruise the Avenue events throughout the summer the Noon Concert Series at Performance Park next to the Yakima County Courthouse start May 29 and the Downtown Summer Nights concert series behind the Capitol Theatre start June 18.
