What it is

Puyallup Nashville Nights is a new summer event bringing live country music downtown. Local retail, bars, and restaurants will host performers throughout the evening, creating a walkable experience that invites people to explore, listen, eat, and connect. It is a fun way to celebrate summer and energize downtown ahead of the Fair and Rodeo season.

Why it matters
This event is more than just a night of music. It is a chance to connect downtown with two of Puyallup’s biggest traditions, the Fair and Rodeo.

What’s happening
We are lining up to 11 performers at bars, restaurants, and small outdoor spaces downtown. Music, food, and light western touches will bring that Nashville vibe without going overboard. Some retail businesses will stay open later, and we expect a steady flow of people moving around downtown all evening.

Promotion
We spread the word through social media, flyers, posters, email newsletters, and community outreach. With help from the Fair and Rodeo, we will extend our reach and keep the energy building as the rodeo approaches.

Goals
As a first-year event, we are aiming for a strong turnout. Our goal is to support small businesses, create a fun experience for the community, and build something that grows each year. We want sponsors to get great exposure, keep everything running smoothly and safely, and leave people talking about the event positively.
