Soundcheck Festival

** 2024 LINEUP TO BE ANNOUNCED **

For four days during the third weekend of August, Port Townsend will be bursting with performances, art, and interactive events celebrating our local artists and cultural ecosystem. Catch a show from a great band in an excellent venue. Dance your pants off outside at an inclusive swing event, or inside to sets from some of our best local DJs and producers. Marvel at a burlesque troupe, or at a collection of short films. Be moved by a group of local poets addressing the most salient issues of our times.

Soundcheck lets you choose your own adventure from an incredible array of locally-focused events!
