Doe Bay Fest, Friday and Saturday August 13 & 14 Doe Bay is hosting its annual music festival that draws a friendly Seattle crowd to the island – but no reason locals can’t get in on the fun! Technically, the event is SOLD OUT. But that is because we had to set a limit on how many cars and campers we can host. If you can get to Doe Bay Fest without a car and don’t need a place to sleep, we CAN sell you a ticket. Purchase your pass for $50 (cash or check) at the Doe Bay Front desk before August 12 to secure your admission.Call 376-2291 or see www.doebayfest.com
