When the settlers in the late 1800’s created the irrigation system, it allowed the clear blue water cascading down the majestic mountains to flow across the Dungeness valley, bringing abundance, fertile fields, and lush green crops.
Irrigation devices lined the landscape, rolling across the fields to distribute water to the parched land. Soon tractors could be seen working the fields and harvesting the crops. Hay bales dotted the valley. Crops thrived and farms prospered, making Sequim the agricultural marketplace of the peninsula. Agriculture continues to be a vital part of the local identity.
Ideas for implementing the theme in a logo include incorporating blue water and green fields, colorful crops, hay bales, farm implements, irrigation devices and farmers. |

The 117th Sequim Irrigation Festival will take place May 4th - 13th, 2012 in downtown Sequim. The theme for the 2012 festival is "117 & Still Growin' Green" and planning is already underway. As the dates for the individual events are confirmed the Events Page will be updated.
The Irrigation Festival has always been about community and 2012 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.
