||| FROM REEB WILLMS for ORCASFEST |||
OrcasFest is a new music festival held in Eastsound May 28-30, 2026. OrcasFest is in its second year and is a celebration of music and community started by Reeb Willms and Orcas Island born musicians Caleb Klauder and Tashi Litch.
These three touring musicians hatched a plan to bring the world class music that they encounter out on the road back home to Orcas Island to be experienced by locals and visitors. They wanted to create a setting where music could be experienced in small intimate venues around Eastsound, bringing joyous energy to town, and giving everyone a rare and unique way to see and hear these great musicians up close!
The festival kicks off on Thursday May 28 with a community square dance at Odd Fellows Hall. Daytime, evening & late night concerts, dances, jams & workshops will be happening at Odd Fellows, Orcas Center and around town at various smaller venues Friday and Saturday including: Cafe Aurora, the Wee Chapel at Outlook Inn, The Barnacle, The Lower Tavern, Printshop, Orcas Bakery, and Squeezers.
Tickets are still available! Day and weekend passes can be purchased at orcasfest.com, and also at the festival ticket office while supplies last at the Chamber of Commerce during the festival. Don’t miss out on this chance to ramble around town!
