A free, all-ages Thursday night concert series.
Port Orchard’s Concerts by the Bay are a beloved free, summer-long live music series set at the Marina Park waterfront gazebo every Thursday evening, usually from 6:30 PM to 8 PM June through September. The series brings local bands and diverse genres — from gypsy jazz and classic rock to world music and blues — to a gorgeous water-side backdrop where families, friends, and visitors gather with picnics and blankets. These concerts are a celebration of community spirit and Kitsap culture along Sinclair Inlet. The vibe is casual and welcoming — rain or shine, with covered seating and plenty of room to relax, dance, or stroll the boardwalk as the sun sets. It’s one of those summer highlights that brings downtown Port Orchard to life.
