The festival is dedicated to hosting a world-class, 3-day event which contributes vibrancy to the local community, brings our island neighbors together, establishes lasting connections with visitors, and encourages the expression of music in local young people. Our motivation is to provide an inspirational event that brings joy, builds a sense of community, generates revenue for Whidbey Island businesses, and creates musical opportunities for local students by offering scholarships and sponsoring instrument programs designed to provide equal access to music—impacting generations to come.
Mark your calendars and stay tuned for the Oak Harbor Music Festival 2024!

2023’s Oak Harbor Music Festival was full of fun and energy as the crowd sang and jumped for their favorite performances of the night through three nights straight. Not only was the lineup full of great music and musicians such as Tyler Bryant & The Shakedown, Broken Banjo, The Gothard Sisters, and Janie Cribbs & The T.Rust Band, we also had young talent shine on stage as Kick Brass, Dankia Kloewer, Grace Zhao, and Adele Wood made an appearance for the Teen Talent Showcase! With lots of food and a community full of love for music, last year was yet another amazing festival.

For the past eleven years the Oak Harbor Music Festival has provided a total of over $70,000 in scholarships to dozens of Whidbey Island graduating seniors who plan to study music or build their performance skills in college.
Since 2022, the Quarter Note Fund for Young Musicians will help our Whidbey Island schools provide instruments for use by children who can't afford to rent or buy their own. 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 that seeks to inspire our community with the power of music.
We would be sincerely thankful for any amount you are able to share.
from Whidbey News-Time
"In our first ten years, through 2021, we awarded 34 scholarships to deserving local musicians for a total of $63,500. This is a beautiful testament to the support we get from the Whidbey Island community that has been so loyal to us over the years.”
