The Festival at Sandpoint
is
celebrating its 34th annual summer concert
series, August 4 - 14, 2016 with eight
nights of eclectic music under the stars, on the
shores of Lake Pend Oreille, in Sandpoint,

Since 1983, the non-profit Festival at Sandpoint
has hosted its internationally renowned summer
concert series in a casual and relaxed
atmosphere at Memorial Field, in Sandpoint,

a customized concert experience without equal.
You can feast on fabulous food and beverages on

basket and cooler from home. You can stretch out
on a blanket, cruise in a lawn chair (bring your
own or rent ours), sit in the grandstands or let
loose in our dancing areas.
