Downtown Summer Nights

This Thursday night downtown Yakima will have music in the air from The BGP and Jayleigh Ann & The Lost Boys for Downtown Summer Nights. Get a sneak preview of these awesome bands.

Downtown Summer Nights was, naturally, a hit this week (June 22). What a blast! We had so many people there it was incredible!
