Public support can help bring a free concert series to Tacoma next summer

Metro Parks Tacoma is in the running to bring a 10-week free, live music series to Tacoma’s Dune Peninsula at Point Defiance Park next summer.

Each year, the Levitt Foundation awards $25,000 matching grants to U.S.-based nonprofits serving small to mid-sized towns and cities to present the Levitt AMP Music Series, 10 free concerts that inject new life into public spaces and create vibrant community destinations.

The public is asked to visit levittamp.org/vote to register and vote. Each person may cast one vote, so we ask supporters to spread the word to family, friends and colleagues to rally community support for a concert series on the Cambia Legacy Lawn at Point Defiance Park’s Dune Peninsula.

Online public voting opens Nov. 1 and ends Nov. 20 at 5 p.m.

Proposed concert venues throughout the U.S. are posted on the Levitt AMP website for public voting at levittamp.org/vote. Tacoma is the only city in Washington State vying for a Levitt AMP Grant Award.

Community support, as measured by the number of online votes received, will be one of the key factors considered when the Levitt Foundation determines the 2020 Levitt AMP Grant Award winners.

Once the Top 25 finalists are selected through online public voting, the Levitt Foundation will review their grant proposals and select the 2020 Levitt AMP winners—which will be announced on December 20, 2019.
