Yakima Valley Festivals and Live Music

Rich cultural traditions and agricultural heritage are woven into the Yakima Valley's historical roots. We have a lot to celebrate here! From unique museums to signature events, explore our history and enjoy celebrations around the Valley throughout the year. From historic Native American heritage and vibrant Latino presence to Filipino American influences, the Yakima Valley enjoys a wonderful mix of cultures and people. Experience the rich traditions, flavors, music and more at cultural festivals. From the first days when the Yakama Nation settled the Valley, this region has been known for its agricultural abundance. In addition to favorite farm festivals, we celebrate our agricultural roots in wine grape and hop farming with can't-miss craft beverage and harvest festivals.
