Lynden Music Festival 15th Anniversary!

From the organizers:

We are very thankful for your financial and emotional support and participation over the years and can’t wait to share with you our October 9-13, 2024 festival highlights:

  • The Four Freshman will be headlining our festival this year! This legendary group needs no introduction! Their unique sound strongly influenced Manhattan Transfer, Take 6 and the Beach Boys. Although the names and faces have changed over the last nearly 75 years, the harmony and legendary sound of them continue to fascinate audiences worldwide and we are so lucky to have them perform at the WECU Building at the Lynden Fairgrounds for two concerts.
  • Henry Mancini is having his own special 100 year anniversary this year so in honor him the Dimitri Matheny’s Jazz Group will be playing many of his famous musical pieces; Moon River etc.
  • Another highlight is the talented Folkert-Hans Tolsma from the Netherlands performing for all ages, young and old. You won’t want to miss the fun with his energetic music!

Our webpage www.lyndenmusicfestival.com is up and running! Check the schedule and tickets.

We appreciate each one of you and thank you for making this event possible. See you in couple months for our Fifteenth Anniversary fantastic festival!
 
AND Before it, please join us for our Fundraising event on Sat, Sept 7th. We fill our downtown with lots of live music!!! The Event | Lynden Whiskey Event

You’ll have the opportunity to soak up a private art collection, live music, and the beauty of the Sound while mingling with local artists and raising a glass for Inspire Washington’s future.

 

Tickets for our Caring for Culture 2024: Sips, Songs, and Support are available now and start at $150. Since this will occur at a private residence in North Seattle, we’ll release the address to attendees a week before the event. This event will be accessible for individuals with wheelchairs, but please contact us regarding what accommodations you need so we can help you. This is a private residence, but we will do as much as we realistically can to make the event accessible for all attendees. We hope you will be able to join us and encourage you to invite others who care about the vitality of our state’s cultural life!
