About Strings & Things
Bringing world-class music to Point Roberts
Strings & Things is a one-day celebration of string-driven artistry. For one day, we bring world-class, award-winning performers together in picturesque Point Roberts.
​​
In this unique corner where America meets Canada, we bring together world-class musicians from both sides of the border for an intimate day of folk, bluegrass, symphonic rock, and genre-bending collaborations you won't find anywhere else.
​
Experience untethered musical flexing, cross-border collaborations, and special guests in a setting where community spirit runs as deep as the musical talent runs high. With the beautiful Lighthouse Park as our stage and a small but passionate audience, Strings & Things proves that sometimes magic is found in the most unexpected places.
​
Join us for a day where musicianship meets community spirit, where Canadian and American artists unite through music, and where every note celebrates what brings us together.

point roberts
Point Roberts sits at the tip of a Canadian peninsula, part of Washington state but shaped by both sides of the border. The result is a community that's a mix of worlds: Pacific Northwest in feel, international in heart, and beloved by the 1000 or so people who call this tiny space between two worlds home.
Surrounded by water on three sides, with whale sightings off the west coast and Lighthouse Marine Park right on the shoreline, it's the kind of place where the scenery does most of the talking. It's a place where borders stop feeling like barriers, and an invitation to connect.
what else is there to do?
Tons! Beautiful beaches, forest trails, parks, wildlife, golfing, restaurants, bars, shops, camping, cabins, beach houses, and more!
