About Oak Harbor Music Festival

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.

History of Oak Harbor Music Festival

Like an adoring parent, Janie Cribbs can sound a little sentimental when reflecting on the growth of the Oak Harbor Music Festival. In the four years since she first performed in Oak Harbor’s signature music event, she has watched the stage grow, the crowds increase and the interest soar among bands in the Pacific Northwest wanting to be part of the lineup. “I would say all of us from Whidbey really feel a sense of pride,” said Cribbs, lead vocalist for Whidbey-based Janie Cribbs And The T.Rust Band. “It’s our festival. Other people come from other places and say that Oak Harbor is beautiful. It’s an incredible venue. There are two huge stages. “I think there’s a lot of pride. We feel like we built it.”
