The Sweet Taste of Summertime at PLU
PLU’s annual Fruit Festival lunchtime concert series kicks off June 11 and continues one Wednesday a month through August.
Each event focuses on one delicious summertime berry and features summery desserts and free live music and entertainment.
The concerts are as casual as can be: Everyone is invited to bring a lunch and relax. Fresh fruit desserts are free with a PLU ID, or $2.50 otherwise (cash only), while supplies last.
Each lunch/concert runs from 11:30 a.m.-1 p.m. at Red Square. Parking and entertainment are free.
Here’s the lineup:
Strawberry Festival
Wednesday, June 11
Entertainment: Off the Hook (classic funk and soul), juggler Roberto the Magnificent and the Elk Plain Dance Ensemble.
Raspberry Festival
Wednesday, July 9
Entertainment: the Funaddicts (jazz, classic rock and more).
Blueberry Festival
Wednesday, Aug. 6
Entertainment: folk-rock musician (and PLU alum) Peter Benjamin ’97.
