For four days during the third weekend in August, Port Townsend is bursting with music and events celebrating our cultural ecosystem.
The Soundcheck festival highlights Port Townsend’s performers, artists and makers. Choose your own adventure from an incredible array of homegrown music and art on August 15 – 18, 2024.
Dance your pants off at an outdoor swing show, or groove to sets from popular local DJs and producers. Marvel at a burlesque troupe and watch a collection of short films. Be moved by local poets addressing the issues of our times. There’s so much to see and do!
The festival lineup is LIVE NOW at ptsoundcheck.com. Visit to plan your ultimate weekend by choosing from more than a dozen offerings in film, dance classes, live music, spoken-word poetry, and more.
