Do you know that the Broadways Center’s vision statement is to lead and energize the renaissance of Downtown Tacoma? So awesome. Maybe that’s why they sponsored the block party for the 2nd year in a row.
In honor of their leadership we’re going to post their show schedule below. Use the upcoming DBP door hanger to get $10 off any show. We’ll be posting on how to get your hands on one next week.
