🎸 Lacey in Tune Is Back

Music nights, outdoor movies, and laid-back evenings in the park — here’s why this local tradition is worth showing up for

If you live in Lacey, this is your sign to grab a blanket, pack a few snacks, and plan a night (or several) under the stars.

Lacey in Tune is officially back for the 2025 season — offering free concerts, movies, and family-friendly events all summer long at Huntamer Park and other local spots. It’s one of the most relaxed, feel-good summer traditions in Thurston County — and one of the best ways to spend an evening without spending a dime.

📍 Where It’s Happening
Most events take place at:

📌 Huntamer Park
618 Woodland Square Loop SE, Lacey, WA

But be sure to check the full schedule — there are pop-up movie nights and performances happening at other parks and venues throughout the city as well.

🗓️ What to Expect This Summer
Lacey in Tune includes a wide range of weekly events that run throughout the summer, including:

🎸 Tuesday Concerts — Lunchtime shows perfect for music and a midday picnic
🎬 Friday Movies at Dusk — Outdoor film screenings on a big screen (bring the lawn chairs!)
🎤 Saturday Night Concerts — Local bands and touring acts in a relaxed, family-friendly setting
