The sustainability-themed Great Peninsula Future Festival is held annually by Sustainable Kitsap, an all-volunteer nonprofit community service organization. The goal of the festival is to bring citizens, educators, environmentalists and civic leaders together in an atmosphere of fun to help their communities move toward a more sustainable future.
Fiddles and banjos will fill the air Saturday as several groups bring the heritage of homegrown, American music to Kitsap County. The “Festival Within a Festival” will feature such bands as the Cascade Mountain Boys, a northwest staple in bluegrass music, with instrument workshops conducted by national flat-picking champion, Roger Ferguson, and Bluegrass Hall of Famer, Terry Enyeart. In addition to Saturday’s bluegrass, the festival will again feature comedy, acrobatics, juggling, magic shows, and colorful parades by the popular New Old Time Chautauqua vaudeville troupe.
The festival will take place Saturday, July 31st, from 10am until 6pm and Sunday, August 1st, from 10am until 5pm at the Kitsap County Fairgrounds.
$5 for Adults, $4 for Seniors/Students/Military, FREE for 18 and under with paid adult

"Having the support of Washington
Conservation Voters was extremely helpful in my campaign for Seattle City
Council. In a city like Seattle,
being able to legitimately call myself the environmental candidate was a huge
help, and helped me reach out to many voters on this important
issue." -Tim Burgess, Seattle City Councilman
