To inspire our community with the power of music.
We conduct all of our business with honesty
in our relationships and in stewardship of the
Festival. We recognize that our stakeholders
our sponsors, donors, volunteers, guests,
musicians, vendors, local businesses,
and the Oak Harbor community. have placed great
trust in us, and we strive always to be worthy
of that trust.
We recognize and are grateful for the
reasons that the vast majority of our guests
continue to support our
Festival: love, friendship, family, and community,
all inspired by the power of music. We
believe that music has a unique power
to heal, uplift, connect, and make our
community stronger.
We listen and validate all input from our
stakeholders, both positive and negative. We
appreciate that anyone who takes the time to
give us feedback is letting us know that we
are important to them and to this community,
and we address each issue in a manner that
honors the intent of the person who brought
it to us.
We proactively recognize and encourage
engagement with the festival from all
corners of our community, from all age
groups, diverse cultures, economic
backgrounds, and musical genres. We
strive for diverse representation on our
board, in fund development, and in the
performers who appear on our stages
We proactively collaborate with the City of Oak Harbor, Whidbey
Health, State Liquor Board, and other agencies as appropriate,
including planning and training for our board and volunteers, to
support a safe festival for all who attend.
Since 2012, the Oak Harbor Music Festival has provided a weekend of
free musical entertainment in the City of Oak Harbor, on beautiful
Whidbey Island.The festival has returned more than $100,000 to our
community's young musicians through our scholarships for Whidbey's
graduating seniors and through our Quarter Note Fund which puts
musical instruments directly in the hands of local middle schoolers.
We are dedicated to the idea that students with passion for music,
and talent and desire to learn, should have an obstacle-free chance to
follow their dreams. The Oak Harbor Music Festival is a non-profit
organization, so your donation will be tax deductible.
We would be sincerely thankful for any amount you are able to share.
