It’s that time of year, and based on the schedule of activities lined up for the 2015 Festival at Mount Si, it’s should be a great weekend at Si View Park, 400 SE Orchard Drive in North Bend.
Admission FREE. There’s a shopping area with arts and crafts vendors hailing from all over the state – and classic food like corn-on-the-cob, elephant ears. The Rotary is sponsoring the beer garden. There’s LOTS of live music on two stages, including Austin Jenckes. A parade. Dessert contest, pie eating contest and chili cook off. A fireworks show, silent auction and TONS more.
The weekend kicks off Friday with the Big Bend Bash, a free, all-ages concert in the Si View Community Center. For complete details visit www.festivalatmtsi.org or Festival at Mount Si Facebook page.
