Oak Harbor Music Festival
Our Mission
To inspire our community with the power of music
Our Vision
The Oak Harbor Music Festival brings joy to our guests through the power of music, establishes lasting connections with visitors to our island, strengthens our community, supports local businesses, and provides opportunities that encourage musical expression in our local young people. The Festival's investment in young musicians will impact generations to come.
INTEGRITY
We conduct all of our business with honesty in our relationships and in stewardship of the Festival. We recognize that our stakeholders -- our sponsors, donors, volunteers, guests, musicians, vendors, local businesses, and the Oak Harbor community. -- have placed great trust in us, and we strive always to be worthy of that trust.
COMMUNITY
We recognize and are grateful for the reasons that the vast majority of our guests continue to support our Festival: love, friendship, family, and community, all inspired by the power of music. We believe that music has a unique power to heal, uplift, connect, and make our community stronger.
RESPECT
We listen and validate all input from our stakeholders, both positive and negative. We appreciate that anyone who takes the time to give us feedback is letting us know that we are important to them and to this community, and we address each issue in a manner that honors the intent of the person who brought it to us.
INCLUSIVITY & DIVERSITY
We proactively recognize and encourage engagement with the festival from all corners of our community, from all age groups, diverse cultures, economic backgrounds, and musical genres. We strive for diverse representation on our board, in fund development, and in the performers who appear on our stages.
We proactively collaborate with the City of Oak Harbor, Whidbey Health, State Liquor Board, and other agencies as appropriate, including planning and training for our board and volunteers, to support a safe festival for all who attend.
Since 2012, the Oak Harbor Music Festival has provided a weekend of free musical entertainment in the City of Oak Harbor, on beautiful Whidbey Island.
The festival has returned more than $100,000 to our community's young musicians through our scholarships for Whidbey's graduating seniors and through our Quarter Note Fund which puts musical instruments directly in the hands of local middle schoolers.
We are dedicated to the idea that students with passion for music, and talent and desire to learn, should have an obstacle-free chance to follow their dreams.
The Oak Harbor Music Festival is a non-profit organization, so your donation will be tax deductible.
We would be sincerely thankful for any amount you are able to share.
