Episode Details

Yelm Jazz in the Park just turned its ninth year—and it’s bigger, better, and more beloved than ever. With nearly 1,000 people dancing under Washington’s unpredictable skies over two nights, this free music festival has grown from a single Saturday into a full weekend thanks to dedicated sponsors and a tight-knit community. Organizer Marian Licxandru, who does most of the work himself, beams with pride as locals from Olympia to Seattle pack the park, bring blankets, and make it their favorite annual event. Food vendors thrive, and every dollar raised helps keep the magic alive. Next year? The tenth anniversary—with sponsors already lined up—because this isn’t just a festival; it’s a heartbeat of Yelm.
