Walla Walla Guitar Festival will keep you plenty busy during the three-day festival with performances from 12pm until midnight Saturday and as early as 11am on Sunday. But if you need to take a break from live music for a bit, make sure to stop downtown at Hot Poop to peruse their record selection. If sunshine is in the forecast, make a tee-time at Veteran’s Memorial Golf Course for 9 holes of laid back golf. And pit stops are important – plan to visit 2nd Street Distilling Company for a spirits tasting!
No matter where you stay or how you break up your festival experience, the Walla Walla Guitar Festival is the perfect way to shake off your winter blues and have, as the festival organizers have so fittingly put it, a LARGE time!
