Lavender Festival
Every year on the third Full weekend of July (Friday Saturday Sunday) Sequim holds its’ Lavender Festival. We have a street fair, lavender farm tours (3 requiring admission AND 15 Free admission), barn dances, FREE concerts in the park and lot’s of purple fun. There are also dozens more farms in the arear that aren’t on the OFFICIAL map.

This beautiful mallard was doing all sorts of moves to attract the attention of a female in the pond across from John Wayne Marina. He caught my attention–I think he was disappointed!
