In Pullman, Washington, we celebrate the arts and their importance in bringing the community together. Not only does the City of Pullman Chamber of Commerce host the Three Forks River and Arts Festival, but it celebrates music with a weekly event that takes place every Thursday evening! Music on Main runs during the months of June through September to coincide with the warm weather of summer.
Yes, Music on Main is dependent on the weather being sunny and not rainy, but when Music on Main happens, it is at Pine Street Plaza. Pine Street Plaza is located right on Main Street, at the front of Thomas Hammer and their very colorful mural. In the background is a beautiful bridge over the South Fork Palouse River, with a walking trail and small waterfall.
Music on Main has been happening since 2018, performing since before the event even had a name. For those that really enjoy listening to live music at a small venue, this is the event for you. There will be some artists that will draw a larger crowd than others, and you should be prepared if it is a very hot day, and it can be a pretty hot fun in the summertime in the city of Pullman, Washington.
