South Sound Block Party is a dynamic, community-driven music festival that celebrates the rich musical heritage of Olympia and the South Sound. Set on the shores of the Puget Sound, the festival showcases a diverse lineup of local, regional, and national artists, paying homage to Olympia’s storied punk, feminist, and Riot Grrrl roots while offering something for everyone. More than just a concert, SSBP is a cultural movement that fosters creativity, strengthens the local economy, and provides valuable opportunities for artists, vendors, and production professionals.
Each year, thousands gather for an unforgettable weekend of live music, local food, and community connection. By creating an inclusive and high-quality experience, SSBP serves as a tentpole event that unites music lovers, drives tourism, and revitalizes Olympia’s music scene.
