ABOUT WHATCOM WAV(E)

First of all, thanks for taking the time to read this! We appreciate you being here.

Whatcom WAV(e) is a local music festival, but I'm sure you knew that already. We stand for lifting up local youth voices, experiences, and ideas. While we tend to focus on the newer generations of talent, we of course welcome anyone of all ages with open arms!

We got our start just now in 2025 by a group of people with a crazy idea, a vision, and an extreme passion for live events, music, lighting, audio, and every little facet in between. We look forward to building out our reach, scale, and scope in the future- and with your help, we can do it.

"But what can I do to help, and how can I get started?" We hear you asking. (I'm sure you just said that out loud, right?) And that's an incredible question. We accept help in a variety of ways, from monetary donations- even the smallest amount helps, and is greatly appreciated- to your labor or expertise in our related fields. Reach out here via email if you're interested!
