OrcasFest

OrcasFest was created by Tashi Litch, Caleb Klauder and Reeb Willms, to share their passion for folk music, and for their love of community and dancing.  OrcasFest aims to create an intimate listening experience, and a festive jamming atmosphere with plenty of dancing. This weekend of music is open to islanders and visitors alike.  Come hear some of our favorite musicians from near and far, walk the streets of Eastsound, visit our businesses and explore our beautiful island.  In the future we aim to promote youth in music and local musicians of all skill levels.  We hope you enjoy our programming.
