Kickoff Dinner & Auction
March 21, 2026 @ 4:00 pm – 8:45 pm
Tickets coming soon...
The annual Kickoff Dinner & Auction is the main fundraising event for the Sequim Irrigation Festival. The proceeds help to fund the scholarships for the Royalty Court, the free and fun events during the two weeks of Festival, and other expenses as we celebrate tradition, and represent our city around the state at parades and events. The Kickoff Dinner & Auction, like all festival events, is managed and produced by a group of volunteers.
The Sequim Irrigation Festival Kickoff Dinner and Auction will be on March 21st with doors opening at 4pm, and the float unveiling is at 4:30pm at 7 Cedars Casino and Hotel! The float rollout is free and open to the public.
Each year the Irrigation Festival “Kicks off” the season with the introduction of our new Royals, congratulates our new Button Designer, and celebrates our Sponsors, Grand Marshal, Honored Pioneers and other dignitaries. The Live Auction is also a great tradition of pinning the Royals with their official pins. Live and Silent Auctions, Raffles, and a fantastic emcee will create an evening of fun and excitement!
The Sequim Irrigation Festival is the longest continuous running festival in Washington State now at 131 years. We are an all-volunteer 501(c)4 organization.
