The Summertide Solstice Festival is a perfect opportunity to kick off summer alongside friends, family, and community. This free and family-friendly outdoor festival celebrates the longest day of the year while welcoming new sculptures and poetry into Webster's Woods Sculpture Park located at Port Angeles Fine Arts Center.

Enjoy food vendors, a beer garden, a series of live music in an outdoor venue, poetry readings from Poetry in the Park finalists, and free art & activity stations for all ages.

Entrance to Summertide is free, but donations are appreciated to cover the cost of this community event.

Our 2025 Musicians!

Deadwood Revival |  Deadwood Revival

Deadwood Revival, the powerhouse duo of Kim Trenerry and Jason Mogi, brings an infectious spirit to the stage with a tasty soup of new old-time and folk rock spiced with a bit of classic country. Their powerful and impeccable harmonies coupled with Jason's claw-hammer banjo style and Kim's driving rhythm guitar creates an energetic and joyful sound that we know you'll love.

Tin Sandwich |  Marty and Marilyn Kaler

Marty and Marilyn Kaler comprise Tin Sandwich, a favorite local duo that combines finger style guitar, harmonica, claw hammer, banjo and ukulele.

Casey Fall |  Casey Fall

Singer/songwriter Casey Fall combines folk, country, and Americana with an occasional dash of pop. With gorgeous vocals and serenading guitar, Casey captivates audiences all around the Olympic Peninsula and beyond.
