Day and weekend passes can be purchased at orcasfest.com (http://orcasfest.com/). OrcasFest is a celebration of music and community started by Reeb Willms and Orcas Island born 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!
