Washington State Parks Concerts Draw RVers

Seems like even governments are trying to sweeten the deals they make. Wifi at highway rest areas? Well, why not free concerts at state parks? Washington State Parks has kicked off a summer series of free concerts at its popular Cape Disappointment State Park along the blue Pacific, near Ilwaco.

These freebie concerts take place at 2:00 in the afternoon on Saturdays in the Confluence Project Amphitheater, which--when the rain isn't too thick--provides neat views of both the ocean and the confluencing Columbia River.

If you hurry you can catch the Beerman Creek String Band who tune up in the key of bluegrass this Saturday, July 14. Miss them, catch up with a Celtic music group from Portland called Circled by Hounds on the 28th. The August lineup includes Juan Manuel Barco and his Tex Mex Band on the 11th, and rounding out August on the 25th is the Naselle Marimba Band.
