Carnation Farmers Market's 2023 Music on the Grass
Concert Series
Dust off that harmonica, guitar, or theramin, and share a tune with the townsfolk this Tuesday. The supportive environment of the farmers market is the perfect venue to share a ditty or two, whether you're a young person just breaking into public performance, a busy mom or dad that's a little rusty, or an old virtuoso. After the performance of market denizens Home Before Dark, the incomparable Denny will host this showcase of local talent starting at 5:00. It's first come, first serve, so get there early if you wanna play, or if you're really chomping at the bit, send an email to CFM before Tuesday. All musical styles are welcome.
Snoqualmie Valley Supergroup Home Before Dark, in their element and ready to knock off many a sock with their unique brand of porch-spun, yarn-tellin', lumberjackin', toe-tappin', ramshackle jazzy bluesy tunes (Captain Denny on the right with bass clarinet) - 3:00 to 4:45pm
Open mic music fest - 5:00 to 7:00pm
Music on the Grass Presented by Jeff Warren State Farm Special thanks to 4Culture and Supporting Sponsor Duvall Foundation for the Arts

Carnation Farmers Market supports the Snoqualmie Tribe Ancestral Lands Movement: We acknowledge that our market operates on the Indigenous Land of Coast Salish peoples who have sovereign, inherent Tribal rights to this land, specifically the Snoqualmie Indian Tribe (sdukʷalbixʷ). We thank these caretakers of this land who have lived and continue to live here since time immemorial.
How do I honor the land and those who live here?
Be mindful: Respect the land by picking up after yourself and your pets, and stick to designated trails.
Adopt an attitude of reverence: Engage with the land mindfully, appreciating its natural balance, rather than seeking to conquer it.
Educate yourself: Learn more about the Snoqualmie Tribe, their history, and present-day practices.
Acknowledge the land: Recognize that you are enjoying time on Snoqualmie ancestral lands, in both word and action.
Spread the word: Encourage others to learn more about the land and acknowledge its sacred significance to the tribe(s).
THANK YOU
