Summer in the City is your excuse to soak up a full weekend of fun in Downtown Everett. For two days, Wetmore Plaza and the surrounding streets are packed with music, art, activities, and local favorites, giving you every reason to wander, explore, and stay awhile.
Bring the kids, text your friends, make it a date night, or turn it into a weekend outing. From live entertainment and hands-on experiences to shopping, sipping, and discovering your new favorite downtown spots, there’s something happening around every corner.
The best part? It all lines up with Fresh Paint at Schack Art Center, so you get an extra dose of creativity and community energy all in one weekend. Come for one thing, stay for it all, and make Summer in the City your favorite downtown tradition.
Friday 8/14, 4 – 8 p.m.
Saturday 8/15, Noon – 8 p.m.
We need your help to make Summer in the City a success! If you’re interested in volunteering, contact Amber for more information.
