This Saturday The Dusty 45s play the 19th annual Stillaquamish Festival of the River. The Dusty’s go on at 10:30 so be early. Also playing the festival are The Gin Blossoms, Smashmouth, The English Beat, The Knack and Leroy Bell and his only friends. With a packed line up of great bands you wont want to miss this! The festival is being held at the River Meadows County Park in Arlington, WA.

The Stillaguamish Festival of the River is a fun way to celebrate summer and the Pacific Northwest environment. Regional citizens and visitors share their experiences and learn from others about water quality, salmon habitat, and the watershed. And if you don’t know what a watershed is, they will teach you!

With a giant storytelling tent, a 20′ paintable mural, arts and craft vendors, a scrumptious salmon barbecue prepared by the Stillaguamish Tribe, and live music by a variety of great bands….there is something for everyone to enjoy!

Every summer the Dusty 45s can be seen at a variety of outdoor venues. All of the concerts are free and all-ages. Come on out and support local music and enjoy the beautiful Northwest summer!
