The Downtown Issaquah Association‘s popular Confluence Music Festival will be held on Aug. 30.

The free event will feature live music, art, and food and will be held from 2-7 p.m. at its namesake park. Visitors can spread out a blanket, listen to live performances, browse artisan booths, and watch artists at work.

Food trucks, plus a beer and wine garden for visitors 21 and up, will be on site, too.

“This festival is about creating moments that bring people together,” said Christina Bruning, president of the Downtown Issaquah Association, in a press release. “Whether you’re dancing to live music, discovering a local artist, or simply relaxing by the creek, Confluence is a reminder that the best communities are built through shared experiences.”
