The 116th Sequim Irrigation Festival 2011 has started

Our Sequim Irrigation Festival celebrates the initiation, development and support of the irrigation ditches which brought water to the once dry areas of Sequim. After a somewhat tougher winter than usual for Sequim moderate weather standards, the Irrigation Festival will be a way of welcoming spring everywhere in Sequim. This year we will have more events than ever. We mostly hop on our bikes and can easily visit our favorite events like the Logging Show in Carrie Blake Park and the 'Grand Parade' in Sequim town at noon May 14th.



There will be so many more Sequim events at this Sequim Irrigation Festival 2011. Come and see for yourselves. The Peninsula Daily News gives you the entire calendar of events for family and kids.


Last but not least, this will be the fourth year for fireworks at the Logging Show events on Friday night May 13, 2011, 9:30pm making it a spectacular 116th Sequim Irrigation Festival!

Very nice! It looks like it was a fun event. Those trees blooming in these photos are marvelous.

Hello again Ron from Texas,
Yes, it was surprising how many cherry blossom trees were still blooming at this year's Sequim Irrigation Festival.

But I tell you what, everything is really much later this year. My peonies are still just buds but good news is that finally the sun made it in 'sunny' Sequim through after a rainy Sunday. We are waiting for the lilacs to pop.

We were so lucky that we were able to enjoy Saturdays Sequim Irrigation Festaval events with Salmon bake (yummie!) at Carrie Blake Park and the parade through town. Just to name a few. We were once more amazed how many visitors from all WA state areas made it to Sequim!
