The Sunbanks Festival is a four-day  music festival located against the backdrop of Banks Lake near Grand Coulee Dam at the beautiful Sunbanks Lake Resort in Electric City, Washington. The prestigious event is a eight-time Washington Blues Society B.B. Award recipient for “Best Music Festival” in the state!

Founded in 1995, local, regional, national, and international artists alike have performed on this diverse stage that features rhythm & blues, rockabilly, funk, roots rock, country, Americana, singer songwriters, and more.

?The festivities begin on Thursday evening with acoustic music in the Cantina - an intimate rock garden amphitheater located behind the grand log cabin lodge. 

The party continues Friday through Sunday on the main stage with featured acts performing in an awesome setting surrounded by the stunning scenery of the lake framed by rolling foothills.

Festival-goers can enjoy a variety of accommodations; tent camping, RV sites with full hook-ups, rustic cabins, as well as 1, 2, and 5 bedroom villas with all the amenities of home. The resort also features a boat launch and moorage, miniature golf course, and beach access behind the stage with views that rival music festivals far and wide. 

The lodge features a restaurant and bar, and also houses a boutique, general store, a TV/ lounge area, an espresso café, and massage therapy is available by appointment.
