The festival features regional food, beer and wine, local art vendors and three full days of camping at Jim Sprick Community Park; a rustic retreat on the banks of the Naches River surrounded by the scenic Central Washington Cascades. The festival continues to grow rapidly and is becoming one of the premier events in the Northwest region. In its third year, venue specifications were renegotiated to allow for projected growth of attendees and we were once again full to capacity. Immediately following a successful Chinook Fest 2014, presale tickets were released for Chinook Fest 2015 and reached sales of 25% total available tickets in just two weeks. One thing is for sure, as long as we deliver consistent entertainment, fans will jump onboard without even knowing who will be performing in the coming year! This is proof of the brand s growth and sustainability for the future. Partnering with environmentally sensitive companies like Liberty Bottleworks and Alcoa Recycling, Chinook Fest strives to be as green as possible in order to maintain the surrounding beauty of the park and promote progressive sustainable practices in the Yakima Valley. This is a platform that will be expanding in 2015 with a focus on aluminum up-cycling. It is with the help of these companies, as well as many others, that we are able to put on an event of this size and bring amazing music to the area. As we look forward, we continue to acknowledge that we can t do this without the support from people and companies like you. We thank our 2014 sponsors and look forward to continuing to build vital relationships within the community as well as create new partnerships.
