Chamber Music Fest Returns Tonight

The 29th Orcas Island Chamber Music Festival kicks off this evening with world-class musicians ready to remind us why August on the island hits different. Before the first notes, hit the Farmers Market this morning (10am), catch James and the Giant Peach Jr. at noon, or wander over to Oregon Comes to Orcas at 2pm—then settle in for an evening of live music that'll make those golden hour vibes stick around even after sunset at 8:49pm.
