The Lavender Is In Bloom - Let's Have a Party!

 

18th Annual
San Juan Island Lavender Festival


San Juan Island Lavender Festival

You are invited to come celebrate all things lavender with us at the farm July 20 - 21, 2019.  The fields will be at their "peak of purpleness", the sun will be shining (hopefully!) and everything will be about lavender!

The festive weekend will culminate in a Farm to Table Dinner in the blooming fields at sunset.  Coho Restaurant's extraordinary culinary team will feature the flavors of the summer season, drawing ingredients from local San Juan Island farms with a touch of culinary lavender from the surrounding fields.  Sunday, July 21st - Seating is limited so be sure to reserve your tickets today!

We'll be joined by many local artists who will have their work on display and for sale in the fields. Local musicians (Katura Marimba, Kubatana Marimba and Erandolin Strings Celtic Band) will be serenading us throughout the day and Lavendera Massage will be providing relaxing treatments amongst the flowers.
