Gas Station Blues™ Reappears with Luminous Lineup
Notable Musical Artists Return to Historic Shell
ISSAQUAH, Wash., July 2, 2026 – The Downtown Issaquah Association (DIA) and the Washington Blues Society (WBS) resume the hot music summer series for its 12th year.
DIA and WBS will host artists every Thursday night from July 2nd&nbsp;through August 27th from 7 to 9 pm, at the Historic Shell Station located at 232 Front Street North. The artists represent diverse backgrounds, genres, and musical styles and draw crowds from throughout Washington state.
“Gas Station Blues is one of the most popular music series in the Seattle area,” said Christina Bruning. “We are honored to attract such acclaimed artists, bringing listeners back again and again.” The series is live at Historic Shell but also streamed on DIA’s YouTube and Facebook channels.
Concert visitors to the Historic Shell often picnic in the adjacent Centennial Park with takeout from local restaurants, or they can purchase refreshments on-site from <a href="https://www.finsbistroissaquah.com/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Fins Bistro</a>. They bring lawn chairs, blankets, dancing shoes, and shared enthusiasm.
Performances are also live-streamed on Facebook and YouTube.

Magnuson Park Hangar 30

Urban Craft Uprising was founded in the winter
 of 2005 to showcase the work of independent crafters, artists and 
designers — to provide a unique, high quality, hand-crafted alternative 
to “big box” stores and mass produced goods. At our Summer Show, you can
 now find 130+ makers all selling handmade goods both indoors and out, 
including jewelry, housewares, clothing, toys, bath &amp; body products,
 candles, and so much more! We are so thrilled to be bringing back a two-day summer event
 at Magnuson Park Hangar 30. We’ll also have food trucks and booths set 
up in the North Lot so you can refuel with a delicious meal and some 
sweet treats. Our Summer Show is free to attend, and we can’t wait to 
see you!

<h1>Sip wine and enjoy fine art, crafts, live music, and performance:</h1>
Wine &amp; ArtWalks are relaxed, walkable evenings that 
invite people to experience downtown Issaquah through art, music, and 
palate-pleasing vintages. Local artists showcase their work inside shops
 and galleries, musicians set the tone with live performances, and 
participants sample wines from Washington wineries as they move through 
downtown.
The event creates an atmosphere that feels social, 
creative, and personal. Visitors spend more time downtown—browsing 
stores, dining locally, and connecting with artists, winemakers, and 
neighbors along the way. Wine &amp; ArtWalks foster relationships 
between local businesses and regional partners, while reinforcing 
downtown Issaquah as a destination for memorable experiences, shared 
moments, and a close-knit culture.
Issaquah Wine &amp; ArtWalk requires a ticket - see website link for details.
