What is the Soap Lake Food & Festival?

Imagine two days of fun where everyone from senior citizens to kids can eat great food and listen to some awesome local bands. Activities include making your own drum stick to play on a huge drum plus a youth empowerment night with an open mic (Friday) and six live bands, food vendors, and a Family Zone area (Saturday).

"Attendees are encouraged to bring their picnic blankets or lawn chairs...Performances will include traditional folk styles, world music genres, swing and traditional standards, Ukrainian Bandura, blues, plus rock and roll. There will be something for everyone!" - Friends of the Lower Grand Coulee

There are other activities in the proximity of the festival at Smokiam Park (it's a dog-friendly park, so bring your pups).

Soap Lake High School is getting in on the fun, too, by hosting the "Selfie Station" with the town's Youth Empowerment Program.

If you plan on making a weekend of it, you can find a campground or stay in a nearby hotel or resort.
