May, 2010 marks the 115th Irrigation Festival
Welcome to the website for the 115th Sequim Irrigation Festival, which was held May 1st - 9th, 2010. Our festival celebrates the initiation, development and support of the irrigation ditches which brought water to the once dry prairies of Sequim. This year we will have more events and more community involvement than ever, making it a spectacular festival.
The theme for the 2010 festival is "115 Years of Pioneers" |

The 116th Sequim Irrigation Festival will take place May 7 - 15, 2011 in downtown Sequim. The theme for the 2011 festival is "One Hundred and Sweet Sixteen" and planning is already underway. As the dates for the events are confirmed the Events Page will be updated.
The Irrigation Festival has always been about community and 2011 will be no exception. We will be encouraging even more community involvement in all the events next year. So, be thinking about creating a float and walking the parade route with it or getting your co-workers or friends together and forming a drill team. If you have been wanting to test the selling of your crafts or art, think about getting a booth at the Arts and Crafts fair. Do you have that classic car just sitting in the garage? Think about bringing it out for the Car Parade and/or Car Show.

Water turned Sequim into one sweet place to live and play. We live among majestic mountains, fertile farmland, abundant wildlife, wonderful people, fresh fruits and vegetables, and much more. All of these are connected in some way with the flowing of the water in our rivers, streams and irrigation ditches, and gives us the sweet fresh air and wonderfully sweet way of life. Visualize yourself riding a carousel where you can take in all the sweetness that surrounds you. You will notice the vibrant colors of the blue sky, and the golden sun shining on the greens of the farms, meadows and forest.
A carousel concept combined with the sweetness of life will be used to convey the 2011 theme. This is a theme that will be include in all events, marketing media and products.
