“Music discovery continues to be at the core of THING,” said Adam Zacks, curator of THING and Chief Programming Officer for Seattle Theatre Group. “We’ll always aim to present a fresh and eclectic mix of both established and developing artists that inspire community and celebrate creativity. I’m excited to see how the spirit of previous festivals helps THING settle into its new home at Remlinger Farms.” 

"After a great run on the Peninsula, I'm excited to bring our festival to its new home at Remlinger Farms—a wonderful place that I have fond memories of visiting as a child. I look forward to seeing the collaborative impact THING will continue to have on the community for future generations to come,” addedNadia Kaboul Quitslund, a producer of THING.

General admission and VIP three-day and one-day festival passes will be available. All passes include admission to Remlinger Farms, which features a fun park, petting zoos, concessions, and Remlinger’s flagship brewery.

THING, which was created by Sasquatch!
