THE 2008 SASQUATCH! MUSIC FESTIVAL
Memorial Day Weekend | The Gorge, George, WA
The 2008 Sasquatch! Music Festival, now in its seventh and best year yet, will expand to three days and take place Memorial Day Weekend at the legendary Gorge Amphitheatre. Already the official opener to summer for music fans, Sasquatch! is becoming a certified monster of a musical event: this year features another exciting and diverse line-up for the musically adventurous, and ups the ante on an event already hailed for its independent spirit.
Over the years Sasquatch! Music Festival has evolved from a unique homegrown and laid back fest into a full blown three day extravaganza, complete with camp-outs, canyons, sunsets and three stages, and this year (for the first time) a comedy tent.
