Outdoor Movies & Summer Concerts in Seattle: What to Catch This June
As the days grow longer and the skies clear, Seattle kicks off its season of outdoor movies and concerts, perfect for locals and visitors alike. Whether you’re catching a film in the park or grooving to live music by the water, these events are free, family-friendly, and a great way to spend a Seattle evening.
1. Outdoor Movies in the Park
Several Seattle parks host weekly outdoor movies beginning in June. Pack a blanket, grab snacks, and settle in.
Top picks:
- Westlake Park (Downtown Seattle): Short films + classics
- Cal Anderson Park (Capitol Hill): Great for a hip, lively vibe
💡 Arrive early to snag a good spot and bring layers—it cools off after sunset.
2. ZooTunes at Woodland Park Zoo
One of Seattle’s most beloved summer series, ZooTunes brings big-name and indie acts to the zoo lawn. June concerts often sell out, so book ahead!
💡 Pro tip: Bring a low lawn chair and order a picnic meal from a local deli near your Perch stay.
3. Concerts at the Mural (Seattle Center)
These free, all-ages concerts happen near the Space Needle and are perfect for visitors staying downtown. Enjoy food trucks and beer gardens alongside great local music.
💡 Make it a full day: explore the Chihuly Garden, then stay for the show.
Why You Should Go
These events offer local flavor, a welcoming vibe, and unbeatable views—without breaking the budget. Plus, it’s a great way to connect with the community while enjoying Seattle’s early summer weather. Stay at Perch and be close to all the outdoor movie showings in Seattle.
