OrcasFest

The second annual OrcasFest is right around the corner, May 28-31, and soon town will be buzzing with music in intimate venues all around Eastsound village.

Festival organizers, Tashi Litch, Caleb Klauder, and Reeb Willms have a fantastic lineup in store. The festival kicks off with a square dance at Odd Fellows Hall Thursday evening, May 28. Daytime events start Friday afternoon at the Odd Fellows Hall and continue into the evening culminating with a cajun dance, as well as the Friday evening concert at Orcas Center featuring: Cathy Jordan, Kevin Burke, the Murphy Beds, and The Litch Brothers.

The fun continues on Saturday with musical performances, dances and workshops throughout the day and into the evening at the Odd Fellows Hall as well as an evening concert at Orcas Center featuring: Jamie Fox & Scotty Leach, Joel Savoy & Lindzay Young and the Foghorn Stringband. Late-night music will follow at smaller venues around town after the concert. Please check www.orcasfest.com for details and ticket information.

OrcasFest is primarily a folk music festival with the goal of enriching the local community on Orcas Island by gathering together around music: creating space for learning, celebrating, and camaraderie, through dancing, performance, and community involvement.
