SEATTLE — There's a grand opening party set for Saturday June 17 from noon to 5 p.m. to celebrate completion of the 2.5-acre Jimi Hendrix Park at 2400 S. Massachusetts St. in Seattle's Central District.

The Jimi Hendrix Park Foundation says the design for this “extraordinarily artistic community space” was inspired by the life and musical legacy of the Seattle native: “The park exudes his persona and creativity through its very design.” Murase Associates was the landscape architect for the park.

After six years in development, construction and fundraising, the park opened in October of 2016.

The party will have live music by Michael Wansley, Ayron Jones, Grace Love, The Hollers, Peace & Red Velvet, Henry Cooper and School of Rock. There will be speakers, food trucks and family activities.

More information is at the foundation's website.
