Summer is here in Alaska and that means there are events galore to attend and partake in across the Kenai Peninsula. One of the main events to begin this summer’s festivities is the Levitt Amp Soldotna Music Series, which begins on Wednesday, June 1st. Kicking that off is the Color Run where participants are doused from head to toe in multi-colored powder. The race will begin with participants wearing white and finish the race covered in color. Those who wish to participate should arrive at Kenai River Brewing at 5:15 p.m. with the event beginning at 5:30 p.m.
Shanon Davis, Executive Director of the Soldotna Chamber of Commerce and Visitor Center tells KSRM to wear white or your favorite costumes and finish in color:
“We want everybody to show up by 5:15 p.m. at Kenai River Brewing. It’s just a little baby run. We’re just going to run from or walk or you can probably crawl it in like ten minutes. We’re going to go from Kenai River Brewing to the park and just loop around the park and meet back at the stage. Everybody who attends, they’re going to get blasted with color on the walk, but at the end at the stage, we’re going to give everybody a baggie of color as well as let everybody throw it up in the air to really just kick off a wonderful summer and it’s going to be a great opportunity for some camaraderie and also some great pictures, I think, are going to come out. There is no fee to participate. We will have a bucket out for donations, if everybody is so inclined, but really, we want people to come. Wear white, you’re going to get covered in color, but it’s going to be a lot of fun. Please join us!”
Following the conclusion of the color run, the kickoff to the 2022 Levitt Amp Soldotna Music Series begins with the Anchorage-based pop-rock group Medium Build with the concert openers Nelson Kempf and Keeley Boyle. The music series also will have a beer and wine garden along with several food vendors.
The music series will be each Wednesday evening at the Soldotna Creek Park beginning at 6:00 p.m.
