Doe Bay Fest is a rain or shine event. Joe says, “Expect sun and hot, but prepare for rain and cold.”

We have a strict no-pet policy, with exceptions only for service animals as specified by federal and state law. UNLESS YOU HAVE A LEGITIMATE SERVICE ANIMAL, PLEASE LEAVE YOUR PETS AT HOME.

• Guns
• Dogs
• Alcohol – Alcohol is available and reasonably priced. Personal alcohol can’t be consumed in licensed areas.
• Packaged goods – Please plan on taking home the packages that you open and use. Orcas is an island that cannot handle waste.

There are restrooms and portable ‘restrooms’ throughout the property. We encourage you to use the portables when you have a choice. You will notice this year that we are locking the flushing toilets for certain hours each day to control water usage and protect our infrastructure. We apologize for any inconvenience and THANK YOU FOR YOUR UNDERSTANDING. Please, whenever possible, use the porta-potties which are plentiful but not too full thanks to multiple servicings every day. Our permanent system gets very taxed by Doe Bay Fest so skip the flush toilet and go to the porta-potty.

There are a limited number of public showers on the property. We recommend you shower before arriving, and/or plan to shower at our outdoor spa before and after a soak in our outdoor salt water soaking tubs.

The water flowing from Doe Bay’s faucets is potable, and we have marked spigots where you can fill up water bottles. You can find two dedicated water stations on-site, one near the Yoga Studio and one in the Garden Stage area. Please help us limit single use water bottles and fill up your re-usable ones. Re-usable water bottles will be available for sale at the Doe Bay General Store if you forget yours.

Thursday through Sunday, local Island vendors serve food near the Otter Cove Stage and at Doe Bay’s Garden Stage. Caffe Vita’s coffee stand brews incredible coffee drinks in the Lower area of the property throughout the event.

The Doe Bay Café is a gourmet farm to table restaurant operating year round at the Doe Bay Resort & Retreat. During Doe Bay Fest, we work extra hard to feed festival goers while still producing the freshest most delicious food, harvested from our Doe Bay Organic Gardens and from our local waters. The Doe Bay Café will be open for beer, wine, craft cocktails & great food on Open Mic Thursday of festival week, just like every Thursday year round. We’ll be open through lunch on Monday, and then close Monday evening through Wednesday to let our staff clean up, recover, and prepare to re-open post-Fest.

Yes. You will find almost anything you need, from a great toy selection to locally made lotions and potions along with tasty organic snacks and groceries & the best locally roasted organic coffee we have ever tasted.

Doe Bay has a liquor license issued by Washington State. As a licensee, we comply strictly with the applicable laws. No liquor may be consumed on the Doe Bay property, other than in your cabin, tent, our Café, or a fenced beer & wine garden, and alcohol will not be allowed to be taken in or out through the checkpoints. The Café serves beer, wine and select cocktails. The Doe Bay General Store sells beer and wine as well as food and non-alcoholic drinks.

There is an ATM cash machine located at the entrance to the Doe Bay Spa.

Friday and Saturday evenings, EMTs are stationed on property with an ambulance for first aid and emergency care. Call 911 as appropriate. Be aware that cell phones do not always work on the property. There is a courtesy phone located on the front porch of the main building for local calls and 911.

Yes. Charge your phone or tablet with SOLAR POWER at the solar phone charging station from Solar Nexus International. This is a FREE service.

Yes! In fact, last year 20% of our attendees were 12 and under.

Camp Doe Bay provides FREE drop-in childcare for kids ages 4 and up. Donations are accepted to offset cost of materials and snacks. Camp Doe Bay is staffed by a group of volunteers that are creative, education professionals and have experience running large event childcare. Kids under 4 are welcome to participate in activities, but must have a parent or other adult with them at all times. Capacity is limited! Information regarding days and times for availability will be provided at a later date.

We have very limited parking available. All parking is assigned and all cars parked on-site or off-site MUST have a Doe Bay parking permit. Unauthorized or improperly parked cars will be towed. You are encouraged to come in groups and to carpool. Bikes, motorcycles, Water Taxis, and feet are the preferred transportation modes. Festival camping guests can purchase a parking pass for the weekend. Guests with a cabin, yurt, or dome reservations will be allowed one free parking pass per accommodation, either on-site or at our nearby parking field. Any additional passes (second cars) must be purchased from the available parking inventory. Do not leave valuables in cars. DO NOT park on the road, you risk being towed. THE COUNTY INSISTS THAT VEHICLES DO NOT PARK ON THE ROAD FOR DOE BAY FEST. If you come even close to blocking a driveway, you WILL be towed.

On-site parking is the most expensive option. Casper’s Lot is within a short walking distance to and from the festival. Additional parking is available approximately 1 mile from the festival at no cost. We do provide a free shuttle service throughout the duration of the festival to all off-site parking areas. All ticket holders will be notified by email if/when parking passes become available for purchase.
