Welcome to the Sequim City Band

To perform, promote, and preserve symphonic band music

The band will perform classic Christmas favorites as the community gathers to welcome Santa’s arrival in downtown Sequim. His appearance officially kicks off Hometown Holidays. At dusk, the Christmas tree will be lit, adding its glow to the sparkling holiday décor that surrounds the Washington Street and Sequim Avenue intersection.
