While the Sequim Lavender Festival 2023 is still about three months away, it’s such a fantastic event (and popular) that it’s best to start planning ahead. The event always takes place on the third weekend of July during the peak of Washington’s lavender season (this year, it’s July 21st-23rd)—the biggest celebration of the growing season. The annual Sequim Lavender Festival is a three-day street fair not to be missed!
Sequim is home to a handful of lavender farms and gift shops, and they look forward to welcoming thousands of visitors during the Sequim Lavender Festival each year. It’s one of the most picturesque times in the Pacific Northwest, with the rolling purple fields, beautiful aromas, and fun, family-friendly activities. Additionally, lavender is an aromatic herb known for its calming side effects, and what better way to relax than roaming these stunning fields?
