Update - playing at the gazebo
Masks will no longer be required when playing on the gazebo stage. Also, there won’t be restrictions on the number of people that can be performing at the same time on the stage.
This is all due to the removal of restrictions in Washington State due to improvement in the Covid situation.
It is highly suggested that those that are not vaccinated should wear a mask.
Anyone that feels more comfortable wearing a mask may certainly do so.

Go to the Gazebo page to see what time slots are available (there aren’t many).

To our dear LIAC supporters:
During these COVID times, planning a festival in advance is very difficult. None of us knows for certain how things will look in June.

Here is a summary of how things are looking at present:

LIAC 2022 – our program which was planned for 2020 and moved to 2021 is now being moved to June 16 – 19, 2022.  This includes the Festhalle program, workshops, and Grange activities. The LIAC website will be updated to show the “who, what, when” for 2022.

​

LIAC 2021 – because of COVID, Festhalle activities will have to be cancelled this year. However, the good news is that we intend to have plenty of entertainment at the gazebo. We also have a lovely garden space for jamming and workshops outdoors. There are also plans to have a virtual adjudication event for students. We are excited to have a great, yet safe festival for accordionists and tourists.  For those wishing to perform at the gazebo during LIAC 2021, contact Doris Osgood to reserve your performance time.  A sign- up schedule may be viewed at beginning April 1.  The schedule is for viewing only as in years past.  Contact Doris: or 503-357-0417
The dates are: June 17 – 20, 2021. See www.accordioncelebration.org for important updates.
