A Community-Rooted Festival
The Madrona Music Festival began in 2024 as a free, all-ages country folk festival designed to unite the Key Peninsula’s diverse communities through music, food, and shared celebration.
The Key Peninsula Civic Center — a historic community hub originally part of Vaughn Union High School — will host the event across both indoor and outdoor spaces, rain or shine. The Whitmore Room will feature sponsor tables and community booths, while the Gymnasium serves as the main stage for music.
