Music Festivals

Annas Bay Music Festival

The Annas Bay Music Festival is held every year in Union, the site of Washington State's first arts colony. The mission of the festival is to reintroduce the immediacy and excitement of classic music and salon-style performance to modern audiences. Featuring two in-house professional ensembles (the Annas Bay Chamber Choir and South Shore Chamber Orchestra) as well as opera and solo vocal programs, Annas Bay provides world-class musical experiences in intimate settings of spectacular natural beauty.

A typical season runs from April through December, with several original performances over the course of a year. Memberships offer price discounts over single performance rates.

For performance schedules, membership information, and to learn more, contact www.annasbay.org or call 360-898-5000.

Location: 7362 E. State Route 106, Union, Wa.

A high-spirited, annual celebration of Bluegrass music, held the last weekend in April at the Shelton High School Auditorium (North 3737 Shelton Springs Road) in Shelton. Performers and schedules vary from season to season, with talent coming from as far away as Portland, OR and Canada.

The event is sponsored by the Krismastown Kiwanis, with a percentage of the proceeds going to local community projects.
