Combining evening performances with daytime in-school workshops, The Westerlies created Westerlies Fest in 2018 to engage students and audiences in Seattle and surrounding underserved areas to give back to the city that raised them.

To date, Westerlies Fest has presented over 30 artists including Celisse, Samora Pinderhughes, Haley Heynderickx, Sarah Kay, Phil Kaye, Kate Davis, Theo Bleckmann, Robin Holcomb, Troy Osaki, and more.

Westerlies Fest 2025, coming April 9-11.
