About Strings & Things
Bringing world-class music to Point Roberts
Strings & Things is a festival focused on high-caliber, string-driven acts from across North America. For one day, we bring world-class, award-winning performers together in picturesque Point Roberts.
The result? Dancing on the waterfront, untethered musical flexing, and cameos and collaborations you won't see anywhere else.
Previous performers include Juno award-winners, The Paperboys; party-folk-rockers, The Whiskeydicks; 11-piece symphonic rock powerhouse, The Living Orchestra; violin looping virtuoso, Gabriel Wheaton aka “The Red Fiddler”; and more.
Getting Here
Strings & Things takes place at the beautiful Point Roberts Marina (713 Simundson Dr. in Point Roberts, Washington).
Festival Grounds
Strings & Things is a family-friendly event, and the festival field is split into two sections: one half is strictly 21+ and includes our VIP area. The other half is all ages. Alcohol can only be purchased and consumed in the 21 and over area.
