Considered the Pacific Northwest's premier boutique music festival, the
Northwest String Summit will provide four days of mostly acoustic music
and camping in a family-fun atmosphere nestled in one of the most gorgeous
festival sites on the west coast, Hornings Hideout, a beautiful forested
site located just 20 minutes from Portland in North Plains, Ore. at the
edge of Horning Reservoir.
A family-oriented festival, the Northwest String Summit will designate a
specific family camping area where quiet hours are observed. The festival
also provides a "kid's tent" that features a variety of arts and
crafts and other activities for young people.
