Issaquah’s Fraternity Snoqualmie Family Nudist Park is throwing a nude music festival Friday and Saturday that they are calling Nudestock.
The event, located just a few miles from
Issaquah’s city center, is expected to attract up to 600 members and visitors.
“It’s awesome. It looks like perfection. People come in all shapes and sizes, and it’s just fabulous to see everybody not worrying about what society gets on your nerves about,” says spokeswoman Dawnzella Gearhart.
The event kicked off Friday evening with music and food. On Saturday, the main event features three blues bands and food and crafts vendors, as well as nude hot tubbing, sand volleyball, and dancing. Guests are invited to camp overnight.
Gearhart says that the event is family friendly and allows children to stay overnight for free with their parents.
All guests and members are required to show photo identification at the gate. There are no cameras allowed inside the facilities, and anyone discovered taking pictures will have their film or media cards confiscated.
“You wear a smile, bring a towel and some sunscreen, and have a great day. It’s something to cross off the bucket list,” says Gearhart.
The event is free for members, but visitors will be required to buy one-day membership passes for $16 to enter the park.
