Franke Tobey Jones Announces 2025 Summer Concert Series

By Christine Hall

Get ready for a season of music, community and summertime fun! Franke Tobey Jones is thrilled to unveil our highly anticipated Summer Concert Series, taking place every Thursday evening at 6:30 p.m. in August on our scenic, 20-acre campus in Tacoma. 

These lively, outdoor concerts are open to the public and offer a wonderful opportunity for friends, families and neighbors to come together and enjoy some of the best live music the region has to offer. Whether you’re a longtime Tacoma resident or discovering our campus for the first time, we invite you to bring a blanket or lawn chair, pack your favorite picnic snacks and beverages, and soak in the sounds of summer with us.

Our lineup features a dynamic mix of local and regional performers, each offering a unique style—so whether you’re into country, the Beatles, Oldies or Latin inspired music, there’s something for everyone. With Mt. Rainier and Puget Sound as your backdrop, these concerts promise to be a memorable highlight of the season.

We are especially grateful to FTJ resident Mary Anne Fraye, whose remarkable generosity fully funds this concert series. Her thoughtful contribution allows us to create these joyful, community-building events for all to enjoy.
