The 45th "Music in the Park" returns to Sylvester Park in downtown Olympia in July, and the Olympia Downtown Alliance is seeking roving performers to add to the fun outside of the main stage. 

Music in the Park is an annual event, which features free live performances.  

The performances will be held on Wednesday evenings on July 8, 15, 22 at Sylvester Park, with the final performance at Port Plaza on July 29.
