Beacon Hill Music and ROCKiT Space present Beacon Rocks! the last Sunday in summer months from 1-5pm: June 26, July 31, and August 28 (2011 dates).
Why is it “Beacon Rocks!?”
- ”Beacon” as in “our neighborhood”, the folks who live, work or go to school around Beacon Hill in central/south Seattle.
- “Rocks!” is used to mean “a lively state of being excellent” NOT as in only rock music allowed.
“Beacon Rocks!” events are held on Seattle’s one and only (so far) festival street, the Lander Festival Street is the block of Lander next to the Beacon Hill Light Rail station. Click here for directions.
