The Event is about reconnecting with old friends, meeting new friends, and bringing a community together for a weekend of good times. Everything we do there is organized by others in attendance.

It all started with The Event, a weekend campout for a friend group spanning from Olympia to Seattle and Spokane. Following the success of those events in 2021 and 2022, and with the encouragement of so many friends, DJ Spark and friends set out to host a more Invite-Only parties in interesting spaces while promoting local talent and art. Those who receive an invite are encouraged to invite their own friends who will bring good vibes to continue the spirit of collaborative good times.
