South Sound Block Party is a two-day, all-ages waterfront music festival held at the Port of Olympia’s Northpoint that brings together local, regional, and nationally touring artists for a weekend of live music, community, and celebration. Now in its fifth year, the festival has become a summer highlight for the South Sound, drawing visitors from across the region while showcasing Olympia’s creative spirit.
The event features 14 live performances across two days, plus a curated lineup of local food, retail, and community vendors. Ticket pricing is intentionally kept affordable, with free admission for children under 12, making it easy for families and first-time concertgoers to attend together.
Beyond the music, South Sound Block Party supports local artists, event workers, and small businesses while activating Olympia’s waterfront as a shared community gathering space. Whether you’re a longtime local or visiting from out of town, the festival offers a uniquely Olympia way to experience live music, local culture, and a great summer weekend by the water.
