Celebrate Lavender  at the Lavender Capital of North America  Sequim, Washington
The 13th Annual Sequim Lavender Festival is the premier celebration of the joys of lavender and the largest lavender festival in North America. Sequim is located on Washington StateÂs Olympic Peninsula, cradled in the Ârain shadow of the Olympic Mountains and Olympic National Park. The Sequim-Dungeness Valley has an ideal microclimate for growing lavender and with less than 20 inches of rain per year, the area is similar to the Provence region of France. Because of the unique conditions and dedicated farmers, Sequim lavender has received world-wide recognition for its superior quality and fragrance. Our farmers have over 200 years of combined experience cultivating lavender, developing the best planting and growing practices, and creating lavender products.
Getting around the Festival
There is plenty of free parking at each farm. A convenient free shuttle bus system provides access from ÂLavender Central at the street fair to each of the farms on tour. There is additional free parking surrounding the street fair and also shuttle parking lots downtown at QFC and JCPenney.
Accommodations
There are a wide range of accommodations on the North Olympic Peninsula surrounding Sequim. Port Angeles is just a 20 minute drive from downtown Sequim. For more information on accommodations, visit www.olympicpeninsula.org or call 1-800-942-4042 for a free travel package.
Community Programs
