UPDATE Aug. 22, 2024: Thursday night’s (Aug. 22, 2024) Music in the Park concert has been moved to the Burien Community Center due to the weather.

The concert will still be at the same time – from 6:30-8:00 p.m. – but will be indoors due to potential issues with rain.

The National Weather Service is predicting:

“A 50 percent chance of showers. Cloudy, with a low around 57. West wind around 5 mph becoming calm in the evening.”

This concert is the finalé for the City of Burien’s 2024 music series, and will feature French Swing from Lulu Swing.

Here’s more about this band:

“The LULU SWING Band specializes in 1930s Hot Club Swing with a definitive French and Latin twist, as well as repertoire from the Great American Songbook. Since its founding in 2016 (originally under the name “Mes Copines Gitanes”), Lulu Swing has steadily gained a following, playing at farmers’ markets, community and corporate events, and weddings.

“Audiences love the unique and upbeat repertoire, and respond to the charm of an all-female band. Our current line-up includes acoustic guitar and bass, violin, and accordion/vocals and is based in Seattle, WA.

“Lulu Swing’s repertoire is always expanding and currently includes many Hot Club songs popularized by Django Reinhardt and Stephane Grappelli. They also perform French, Russian, and Latin-style tunes, old and contemporary waltzes (or musettes), and an array of American Swing and traditional standards.”
