Everett’s “Street Tunes” program is back again this summer, starting today, July 22nd. You’ll notice artistically decorated pianos around town where aspiring pianists can sit down and crank out some tunes. It’s a fun tradition that started in 2010.
Whether you’re a seasoned pianist, just learning a few notes or simply stopping to listen, Street Tunes welcomes people of all ages and skill levels to create unexpected moments of music throughout the city. The pianos will be available during daylight hours through Aug. 19th, 2026.

Each piano has been transformed into a one-of-a-kind work of public art by a local artist before being placed at locations throughout the community. Local businesses and community partners serve as piano hosts.
“Street Tunes is one of those uniquely Everett experiences that brings together art, music and community,” said Mayor Cassie Franklin.
“These pianos invite people to slow down, connect with one another and add a little joy to someone’s day. We hope you’ll explore Everett, discover each piano and maybe even play a song!”

This year’s Street Tunes program is dedicated to the memory of former Everett City Councilmember Paul Roberts, whose passion for the arts and community helped shape Everett. A new piano painted by The Dance School will debut in his honor later this month.
