We’re just a few short days away from kicking off our Summer at the largest music festival in the Pacific Northwest, Paradiso! If you haven’t noticed, we tend to cover this event to some length, but only because it holds a special place in our hearts. Only a 2 1/2 hour drive from our home base here in Seattle, Diso has become somewhat of a second home. A place we look forward to returning to each year, signaling the official start to our festival season.
We’ve put together a guide to help both veterans and virgins alike for this year’s festival. A comprehensive list of last minute camping essentials, scheduling, camping, and even the weather. No matter how many festivals you may have been to, there’s always room to learn – and it never hurts to be prepared. We’re looking forward to being back to the beautiful Gorge Amphitheater with all you wonderful souls, DMNW family, and especially those Paradiso Kandi Kids!
