GET READY FOR THE 2026 JUAN DE FUCA FESTIVAL

This 3-day festival is Port Angeles’ premier music event. The 34th Annual Juan de Fuca Festival will be held, as always, over Memorial Day Weekend, May 22-24, 2026.
We curate a diverse line-up across five stages. From bluegrass to blues, americana to symphony, storytelling to jazz, dance to theater, we’ve got something for everyone.
Other features in 2026 include a FREE lively street fair featuring food and artisan booths, daily performances at our FREE Evergreen Stage, an outdoor beer/wine garden, Kids Zone, and activities in our Community Tent. Our event is nestled between the majestic beauty of the Olympic Mountains and the Strait of Juan de Fuca! Join us!

Frequently Asked questions
Everything you need to know about the Festival!
Can I buy tickets to just one performance?
No, there are no single performance passes. We curate our line-ups to create a rich arts experience so we’ve never allowed the sale of anything less than a single day pass. There are so many talented performers each da and we’re sure that no matter what you love, you’ll find many events you’ll enjoy.
Are there assigned seats?
There are no assigned seats at any of our stages for the festival. If you’re looking for a specific seat, we recommend you get there early. Also, Main Stage is our largest event space and even if you’re in the far corner, you’ll still be less than 100 feet away.
Where can I park?
If you’re visiting the main campus (Vern Burton Center) you can park in the parking lot of the Clallam County Courthouse, across 4th street from the Street Fair. If you’re joining us at Field Arts & Events Hall, there is parking on Front Street across from the facility. Everything is within walking distance of the Clallam Courthouse parking lot.
Is there a shuttle to other stages?
Yep! Our friends at 7 Cedars will deliver you to all other stages (and the Red Lion hotel) in style! The shuttles run on a continuous loop so you’ll have plenty of chances to catch a ride. Just use the JFFA app (download here) to search for shuttle stops and wait for your chariot at one of the designated stops. SEE MAP
Where can I buy merch?
Most performers will have a merch table set up near the stage where they are performing and often times they’re up for autographs! If you don’t catch the artist at the stage, be sure to check their profile for links to their website.
You can buy Festival merch at our Ticket Office and in the Info Tent of the Street Fari while supplies last.
Where can I buy festival merch?
We sell Juan de Fuca Festival merch (shirts, sweatshirts, posters, hats) in our Ticket Office and in our Info Tent in the Street Fair. Three Day Pass holders can reserve their merch (with a $5 discount) when they purchase passes.
Can I get a refund?
We don’t offer refunds or exchanges for any of our ticketed events. Our ticketing system, Ludus, makes person to person transfers simple.
Is there a senior/military discount?
We don’t currently have senior or military discounts, but we do have a very rewarding volunteer program. For Festival, you earn a FREE one-day pass.
Do you need volunteers?
Yes! We'd love your help. CLICK HERE for more information.
