LoveOly SummerFest is back in historic Downtown Olympia! So are the amazing live music and activities for kids and families. Enjoy interactive art installations from local artists, engage with community groups and stop at the Biergarten with local seasonal libations from 3 Magnets Brewing Co., Well 80 Brewhouse, and Whitewood Cider Co. LoveOly SummerFest 2022 will take place every Saturday in August from 1 pm to 7 pm.
The Olympia Film Society (OFS) has partnered with the Olympia Downtown Alliance to produce the headline acts for the festival on the Main Stage. Bon Bon Vivant will continue the summer concert series on Saturday, August 13.
New Orleans band Bon Bon Vivant (BBV) electrifies audiences across the country with a signature sound reflective of their wild hearts. BBV pays homage to the bawdy New Orleans sound while infusing a mysterious klezmer spark, dark ballads and up-tempo dance rock. BBV’s unique instrumentation, message of hope and ability to connect, both through Live Stream and in person, has proven an inspiring resilience despite our turbulent times. BBV is a band that leans into life with hope, change and genre-bending original songs that are as fierce as they are heartbreaking as they celebrate life in minor keys!
The Mona Reels and Naked Giants will open for Bon Bon Vivant.
