Early August in North Idaho- the water is finally a tolerable temperature to swim and the huckleberries are at their peak. This time also means tipsy tourist and Sandpoint scenesters alike turn out for the big summer event- The Festival at Sandpoint.Each year, a local artist designs a fine art poster for the event. This year's artist was Carver Kearney.
Tunes, chow, and waterfront views kicked off at Memorial Flied Thursday Aug. 5th and continued on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Everyone gets a breather for Monday through Wednesday, only to crank back up for a raucous second week.This year, the line-up is...
Week One

Friday- Brandi Carlile
Saturday- Keb' Mo'
Sunday- Children's Concert: Peter and the Wolf

I've already hit up Keb' Mo' and I have tickets for Franti and the NGDB! I can barely wait.
