This is the third year for the event.
It took place in various places around Seattle over the past three days beginning Friday in Fremont, Saturday in the Central Area then moving on to Georgetown for Saturday evening and finally ending their mini-tour in West Seattle.

"It's a group of street bands, marching bands, radical bands from across the nation," said Jeff Parkhurst a drummer with the Artesian Rumble Arkestra, "from Chicago, New York, Canada and all over...some bands from Seattle, Portland, and Olympia."
Bands from across the nation and such notable local bands as the Seahawks Drumline and the Garfield High School Bulldog Drumline offered up music from "New Orleans Jazz, to Drumline and more. We're so thankful for such amazing weather. Thank you West Seattle. You're awesome," said Summer David.
