Departure Fest Rules:
-NO DOGS! NO KIDDING! Service animals required for a disability are welcome. Comfort animals are not.
-Any person under the age of 18 must be supervised by a responsible adult at all times.
-We are an all inclusive festival respecting every ethnicity, color, race, religion, spirituality, gender, gender identity, gender expression, economic status, sexual orientation, disability, age, and creed. Please be respectful.
Our work is the unification of a diverse people through the common language of music.
Departure Fest North West 2023 will be held once again in our hometown of Quilcene, WA at the breathtaking Lake Leland Amphitheater!
Benefiting the Chemakum Longhouse Project
Departure Festival is proud to support the Chemakum Longhouse Project of Jefferson County. This Native led project, created by Naiome Krienke, is gaining momentum as more people learn the significance of what it would mean to again have a Chemakum Longhouse in our community.
