THING’s packed lineup is eclectic, featuring artists both local and international, emerging and classic. From Grace Love to Laufey, Y La Bamba to Digable Planets, Fleet Foxes to the Budos Band, there’s something for everyone, however diverse your family’s musical tastes. Besides bands, there will be free community workshops, interactive art installations, paper lantern parades, plus downtime on Fort Worden’s local beaches and trails. Unlike many fests, THING has in-and-out privileges, so you can take the free shuttle to explore downtown Port Townsend when you need a change of scenery.
