Formed in 1986 to "replenish and enhance the vitality of the arts in Cannon Beach", The Cannon Beach Arts Association provides a variety of programs for the community, our coastal neighbors and the more than two million visitors who visit Cannon Beach each year.
The Concerts in the Park series brings live outdoor performances to Cannon Beach throughout the summer. Performances of jazz, rhythm and blues, and popular music are presented Sunday afternoons at the bandstand in City Park. Since 1982, the first concert of the season is kicked off on the Fourth of July with a lively performance by the North Coast Symphonic Band, conducted by Jim Smith.
