Doe Bay Fest on sale today...

Doe Bay Fest tickets are on sale today.

The third annual Doe Bay Fest takes place August 13-15 on Orcas Island at the lovely little Doe Bay Resort. There are only 750 tickets available, guaranteeing an up-close and personal festival that you'll remember for the rest of your life (perhaps as the best Friday the 13th ever).

There are cabins and yurts available, also tent-camping. Doe Bay Resort has natural (clothing optional) soaking pools, an inlet that glows with spectacular  phosphorescent jellyfish at night ("They're bioluminescent!" as John Roderick so fondly exclaimed last year), a general store, a wonderful cafe that features homemade pastries and the best damn cup of coffee you'll have after a night or two of music under the stars. This year's lineup includes:

Fruit Bats
Grand Archives
The Maldives
Grand Hallway
Hey Marseilles
Drew Grow & The Pastors' Wives
Portland Cello Project
