Bellevue Beats Summer Concerts Serves Up Free Local Jams, Starting July 5

The Bellevue Beats Summer Concert Series is set to return to Downtown Bellevue, offering free live music from local artists starting July 5. Organized by the Bellevue Downtown Association (BDA), the concerts will feature performances every Tuesday and Thursday from noon to 1 p.m. and every Wednesday alongside a pop-up market from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. With a lineup of 30 local groups performing across various venues, the concerts aim to revitalize Bellevue's music scene. Mike Ogliore, BDA’s vice president of events, emphasizes that the series provides a platform for local talent and offers the community a chance to enjoy music outdoors during lunch breaks. Supported by partners like Amazon and the City of Bellevue, the initiative also drives economic activity in the area. The concert series will showcase a variety of musical styles, including pop, blues, and Brazilian roots compositions. For those interested in the full lineup and schedule, additional details are available on the Bellevue Downtown Association's website.
