Press Release:
 
We are pleased to introduce a NEW street festival in historic Downtown Olympia that includes live music and performances, activities for kids and families, interactive art installations, local community groups, and a Biergarten featuring craft beer from 3 Magnets Brewing Co. and Well 80 Brewhouse. LoveOly Summer Fest 2021, presented by the City of Olympia, will take place every Saturday from July 10 to August 28, from noon to 6pm.
 
The Olympia Film Society (OFS) has partnered with the Downtown Alliance to produce the headline acts for the festival in the Entertainment Area, sponsored by Olympia Federal Savings. Some headlining bands include The Black Tones, The Dusty 45’s, and Hillstomp, along with locals Low Wires, The Cavities, Oh Rose, and more to be announced!

In addition to headline bands, buskers, children’s performers, and community groups will entertain attendees. Buskers such as jugglers, contortionists, and street musicians will wow audiences with their talent. Local community groups such as The Bridge Music Project and Olympia Symphony orchestra will respectively produce dance and beatmaking competitions and feature local, professional musicians.

But LoveOly Summer Fest is not just about watching, it’s about doing. The Activities Area, sponsored by Snowshoe, will include ping-pong, bean bag toss, a jumbo chess set, sidewalk chalk, and more. The Biergarten will feature Well 80’s LoveOly Lager and 3 Magnet’s Brewing Co. Summer Sesh IPA. Proceeds from the Biergarten will go towards supporting the event. Local artist Dave Sederberg, known for his recent installation “Glowhenge”, is coordinating a cadre of local artists to install interactive and engaging art.
