Sasquatch! Music Festival was founded in 2002. Eleven years later, it has grown into an international sensation, attracting bands and fans from all over the world. Over the course of four days, thousands of people flock between the five stages in a Washington amphitheater known as The Gorge. The gorgeous May weather and the stunning wilderness backdrop make this festival unique, and our five sunburned correspondents will be quick to tell you that Sasquatch! is a multitude of successful elements.
