It may be winter, but you won't want to hibernate once you see the line-up for the 2016 Timbrrr! Winter Music Festival, held January 29th through 30th in beautiful Leavenworth, WA.
This year, the event warmly welcomes Strand of Oaks, Fruit Bats, Grace Love & the True Loves, Iska Dhaaf, Hibou, The Young Evils, Industrial Revelation, Benjamin Verdoes, Lee Bob & the Truth, Mindie Lind, St Paul De Vence, Bed., Fine Prince, Squirrel Butter, and Lydia Ramsey, just to name the initial line-up.As always, there's more than just music! There will be discounted ski and snowboard packages at Stevens Pass, a free toboggan adventure in the middle of downtown Leavenworth, and "Leisure Games," where guests can compete in activities like Ladderball and underhand tossing. (As a bonus, portions of hot toddy and beer proceeds from Leisure Games will be donated to help with wildfire relief in Leavenworth and the surrounding areas.)
It's no wonder this event sold out in 2015, and may very well might in 2016, too. Three-day passes went on sale this morning, as well as single day tickets. Find out more at timbermusicfest.com.
