The Olympia Parks, Arts and Recreation Department has partnered with the South Puget Sound Community Orchestra to celebrate one year of the “new” boardwalk at Percival Landing. The evening concert will take place on Thursday, August 23 from 6:30pm-7:30pm in the Main Pavilion. The pavilion is located adjacent to the grass area near the intersection of Columbia St and Olympia Ave. There is no charge for attendance.
The orchestra will play a fun variety of music, ranging from Calvin Custer’s arrangement of “The American Frontier” to “Under the Boardwalk”, popularized by R&B group, The Drifters. Attendees are invited to bring a picnic dinner to enjoy from the lawn, or stroll the boardwalk and vote for their favorite art as part of the Percival Plinth Project.
Phase I of Percival Landing concluded in August of 2011, and the Grand Re-Opening was held later that month. Phase I included the addition of the Harbor House, shoreline restoration, restroom and shower renovations, two small pavilions, a new playground, and a reconstructed boardwalk.
