At Departure Fest NW, the organizers aim to ground attendees in a larger community narrative, transcending the traditional music festival experience. Their goal is to create an event where everyone can feel and witness the dynamic energy that emerges when a community comes together to create something extraordinary.
The festival’s expansion in 2023 is not only a response to the positive feedback from the previous August event but also a reflection of the growing demand for musical outlets and the yearning for live music, artisanal experiences, and interpersonal connections.
