Love this festival. Been coming for 25 years. New managment is all about the money and not about the quality of the artists.
Hope this can priority can be reversed. Got food poisoning from vendor food Saturday mid bay so missed rest of weekend

Really quaint setting great music in the beer tents at night, during the day I can get mighty hot. Make sure you hydrate well. This year they had the greatest blues guitarists alive christone kingfish. I do worry for that man's healthy looks like he's not taking good care of himself, should get a chance to see and make it soon he doesn't look like he's going to exist much longer

Love the venue. Love the location and the size of the people allowed. Was very disappointed in the bands this year. Especially the fact that they kept trotting out (THE REAL) Lady A and cramming her down your throat. Didn't really care for her the 1st time and instead of hearing multiple bands playing songs I was treated to Lady A telling stories to slow repetitive melodies. Saturday, which should have been their best lineup was a bust.I heard similar complaints from campers around me. Came too late Friday but heard the bands were great. Sunday afternoon had some great bands. I heard some bands didn't make it because of a computer glitch that shut down flights but jam sessions with the bands there would have been a much better option than bringing out Lady A repeatedly.

Always have a great time. This is my 3rd year going. They really know how to organize a venue to make it operate smoothly. There were 3 things I didn't like this year though. 1. They ran out of t-shirt variations Friday just after noon. I didn't get the shirt I wanted, and believe me, I'm not picky. 2. No one is monitoring people placing their chairs so there were a lot of people putting their tall chairs in the front of the short beach chairs. They should not allow the tall chairs, or have those people start lining them up back by the beer garden. 3. They took the ATM machine away Sunday morning. Almost all the food vendors take cash only. The beer garden is cash only. I had no way to eat or drink.

Good SUNNY location. Good people, artists, & vendors. The way they don't enforce their own low profile chair rule however is ridiculous. We had good seats and then 6 people came and plopped lawn chairs in front of us! Not returning.
They should put a line at the sound booth and ONLY allow lawn (tall) chairs behind it.

Local, Everywhere.

Beautiful piece of property right on the Methow River.

Thanks for hosting the firefighters this summer.
