In our recent Sequim town blog post, we mentioned that this 2011 Lavender Festival will be different. Well, the Peninsula Daily News had it all put together for us in their recent article about the the 'Lavender in the Park' group. That was definitely an interesting article!Here is what will be different at this 2011 Sequim Lavender Festival:
The newly formed Sequim Lavender Farmers Association named its Lavender Festival 'Lavender in the Park', which already indicates that they will have their events at 'Carrie Blake Park', 'Guy Cole Community Center' and the stage of 'James Center for the Performing Arts'. They new 'Lavender in the Park' Lavender Farmers group will offer the tour buses to the 6 Sequim Lavender Farms, which formed the new group, among them such wellknown Lavender Farms as Purple Haze Lavender and Jardin du Soleil Lavender, just to name two.
The original lavender festival organization 'Sequim Lavender Growers Association' will continue its street fair on Fir Street near downtown as they did for the last 15 years, but won't have guided farm tours to the Lavender farms.

Basically it looks like we will be having two Sequim Lavender Festivals this year. Seems like we all will benefit of the ongoing competition between the two groups because I just read on this announcement by the Sequim Lavender Growers Association that their farm tours will be FREE this year. Sequim Lavender Festival visitors for July 15 - 17 event will love it! I even heard that the buses to the 6 lavender farms will be FREE but that still needs to be confirmed.

My husband and I recently visited Sequim for the first time last month. We loved it so much that we would like to find a small little getaway for ourselves to visit and stay at on a regular basis (we live in Tacoma). Not sure about what neighborhoods are good, or what areas to search in.
We have never been to the Lavender Fest, but it looks like a lot of fun! I hope that we can visit during the festival this year.
I just discovered your blog the other night, and have enjoyed reading it.
