Flute Quest brings together internationally acclaimed flutists, accomplished local musicians, those who want to learn to play, and persons who simply enjoy listening to the Native American flute. Makers will offer instruments suitable for all levels of performance from beginner to pro, or fair goers can bid on instruments in the silent auction. Experienced musicians will lead workshops at all levels. Experienced musicians will also lead flute, drum, and didgeridoo circles under the festival teepee. Such circles are excellent places to try out newly developed playing skills. Budding performers can take advantage of the open microphone on the "New Breath" day stage. Many of these activities will be free.

We are honored to work in partnership with Washington State Parks. We know that this location will give us the opportunity to expose more people to the Native American flute; our circles will grow wider and our community will expand.

This event is family oriented and is alcohol, tobacco and drug free.
