Nile Valley Days is set for this coming weekend, July 20-21.

They have a few musical slots to fill and asking for your two cents.

First COVID-19 and now the Schneider Springs wildfire. Pick your calamity but, either way, the annual Chinook Fest weekend concert at Jim Sprick Community Park has been forced to cancel for the second consecutive year.

The 2021 Chinook Fest line-up of musicians and bands along with accompanying schedule was released today (July 28) and it appears to be as rock solid as ever in the nearly decade old festival.

Even though the 2020 incarnation of the wildly popular outdoor musical weekend didn't occur this September (I'll bet you can guess why!), fans were still treated to a virtual concert online a few weeks ago. For those that purchased a ticket, a swag bag was sent in appreciation and, I must say, the souvenirs this year are on point!

Despite being canceled, the 2020 Chinook Fest will air a virtual livestream concert tonight and one time only!

If you are planning to attend the 8th annual Chinook Music Fest Sept. 6-8, heads-up! Those who only plan on going for one day will need to purchase a parking pass or take the free shuttle to and from Jim Sprick Community Park this year as the parking area is full!

The annual Chinook Fest opens this afternoon. If this is your first year attending, here are some helpful Do's and Don'ts from those of us that have attended every year!

The Seventh Annual Chinook Fest, coming the weekend of Sept. 7-9, promises to again be the music mecca of Central Washington.

Next weekend, the Nile Valley will be rocked once again as 32 bands from around the Northwest and up and down the left coast will converge on Jim Sprick Community Park for the 2nd annual Chinook Music Festival presented by Liberty Bottle Works.
