COMMUNITY STAGE

Sit back and relax at Junction Plaza Park, the pocket of green grass located under the trees. The community stage offers up local talent in a scaled down way. Musicians, hula hoops, free yoga, a good ol’ fashioned pie eating contest – it’s always an interesting time. The community stage will also be host to the D1 candidate forum on Sunday, July 14th – moderated by the West Seattle Blog.

Thank you to BECU for sponsoring the Community Stage. Also to Canna West Seattle for booking the music and to West Seattle School of Rock for the stage management.
