CARNATION, Wash. — THING Festival is returning to Carnation this summer—with a bit of a different format.
Performances will be spread out over four Saturdays in August.
“This year is a fresh approach to THING and what a music festival can be,” said Adam Zacks, curator of THING and Seattle Theatre Group’s Chief Programming Officer. “As our industry and audience preferences change, THING will also continue to evolve. We will always make sure this festival has something for everyone, and the single-day format makes it more affordable and accessible, creating multiple opportunities to experience THING. If you miss one of the first two dates, you’ll still have more chances to attend.”
Presale for tickets begins on April 22 at 10 a.m. with the lowest price of $99.50.
Ticket prices will increase to $129.50 starting April 28.
Festival passes include admission to Remlinger Farms, which features a fun park, petting zoos, concessions, and Remlinger’s flagship brewery. Parking is free for all festival attendees, and shuttle service to Remlinger Farms from Seattle will be available for purchase.
