The Washington State Parks Folk and Traditional Arts Program (WSPFTAP) has teamed up again with the organizers of Refuge Outdoor Festival. In past years the festival was a three-day camping experience geared toward people of color. It centers on building community through outdoor recreation, conversations (community talks, workshops), music and art that appeal to a diverse and inclusive audience.

This year, the festival is going virtual. Due to the current social distancing measures and efforts to keep our communities safe, WSPFTAP has recorded a variety of performances and conversations at safe parks. Live streaming sessions will showcase art, music, connections and giveaways.

The online camp-in takes place Sept 18-20. Tickets are available on a sliding scale.
