VanFest
Music festival
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
VanFest is an annual music festival which took place in Maple Valley, Washington, United States. It was founded in 2011 as a grassroots project by namesake Van Wolfe,[1] who was a student at Tahoma Senior High School at the time and described in The Stranger as a "superhuman".[2] The event series, featuring largely Pacific Northwest local bands, benefitted the Maple Valley food bank.[3][4][5] VanFest Five, held in 2015, boasted four stages and 36 bands performing.[1][6] VanFest 2016 featured three stages along with a hip hop tent.[7]
