Lavender Festival - Sequim, WA

The annual lavender festival held on the third weekend of each July on the North Olympic Peninsula, Washington State, U.S.A.

The city of Sequim (pronounced S’kwim) boasts the title of the Lavender Capital of North America, with a growers association encompassing an organization of farmers who specialize in the fragrant herb.

Farm tours are a highlight during the festival’s 3 days, when visitors wallow in the perfumed gardens, amid an atmospheric haze of blooming lavender varieties scenting the air.
