From the Cascadia NW Arts & Music Festival:

Darrington, WA — May 9, 2025 — The Cascadia NW Arts & Music Festival proudly announces its 10th annual celebration, taking place June 20–22, 2025, at the picturesque Darrington Bluegrass Music Park. This milestone year marks the festival’s transition to a nonprofit organization under the Department of Bioregion, reinforcing its commitment to community, culture, NW art and the environment.

Nestled in the lush forests of the Pacific Northwest, with the majestic Whitehorse Mountain as a backdrop, the festival offers a unique blend of electronic and adjacent music, art, performances and community engagement. Attendees can immerse themselves in four distinct music stages, featuring a diverse lineup of DJs and performers that showcase the rich electronic and DJ culture of the region.

Beyond the music, the festival boasts a curated art gallery spotlighting Northwest and west coast artists, a vibrant vending village with local artisan fashion and wares, and a variety of food trucks offering regional delights. Families are warmly welcomed, with free admission for children aged 17 and under when accompanied by a parent, and yes we have a family Village (Ecotopia). 

This year’s workshop series, themed “Healing Happens in Community,” invites participants to engage with Northwest-based teachers in sessions that promote wellness, connection, and personal growth. The festival’s commitment to inclusivity and community is further exemplified by its village model, featuring areas like Technosis, Mythica, Ecotopia, and the newly introduced Q Camp, celebrating LGBTQ+ culture.

“Cascadia is more than a festival; it’s a reflection of the bioregional identity of the electronic music and DJ culture and a testament to the power of gathering around music, art, nature and community,” says the festival’s organizing team. “Our new nonprofit status allows us to deepen our impact and continue fostering a space where community, art, music, and nature converge.”
