The Festival at Sandpoint’s annual meeting is set for 5 p.m.-7 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 5, at Pend d’Oreille Winery. There will be a Sip n’ Shop event where 10 percent of all purchases that evening will benefit the nonprofit music festival.

Festival organizers will recap the organization’s 35th annual season and highlight their plans for 2018.

Early Bird Season Passes are now on sale for the Festival’s 36th annual summer concert series, Aug. 2 – 12, for $199 (plus sales tax and city park fee) for all eight nights of music at Memorial Field. If any passes remain, the price will increase to $259 on Dec. 1. The full line-up will be announced on April 27. There are less than 100 season passes left of the 700 annually available for the popular summer music festival.

The Festival also reminds supporters that if they make an annual contribution to the nonprofit organization by Dec. 31, they will receive a tax deduction for 2017.

While we have you ...

The Reader is locally owned and free of the large corporate, big-money influence that affects so much of the media today. We're supported entirely by our valued advertisers and readers. We're committed to continued free access to our paper and our website here with NO PAYWALL - period. But of course, it does cost money to produce the Reader. If you're a reader who appreciates the value of an independent, local news source, we hope you'll consider a voluntary contribution. You can help support the Reader for as little as $1.
