Join Us for the 2026 Port Townsend Uptown Street Fair

Quimper Sound Records & Guitars is proud to sponsor a full day of live music, local art, food, shopping and community in Uptown Port Townsend.

```

One of Port Townsend’s favorite summer traditions returns on Saturday, August 15, and Quimper Sound Records & Guitars is excited to be a proud sponsor of this year’s celebration.

The 35th Annual Uptown Street Fair will fill the neighborhood with live music, artists, crafts, children’s activities, the Port Townsend Farmers Market, the Uptown Pub beer garden and the famously brief—but wonderfully colorful—Uptown parade.

Live Music Across the Street from Quimper Sound

```

The Uptown Street Fair live stage will be set up directly across the street from our store, with music running throughout the day. Stop by Quimper Sound while you are Uptown, browse our selection of records, guitars and musical gear, and then step outside to catch the next performance.
