Penn Cove Water Festival
The Penn Cove Water Festival is a vibrant annual event held in Coupeville, Whidbey Island, Washington, celebrating Native American culture through canoe racing, arts and crafts, storytelling, and various performances. With a mission to promote environmental awareness and appreciation, the festival serves as a platform for local non-profit organizations to share educational displays and engage the community.
Established in 1930, the festival has evolved from its humble beginnings with just a few canoe races to a grand celebration featuring multiple tribes and diverse activities that draw residents and tourists alike. The legacy of artist Roger Purdue, who contributed his Tsimshian heritage-inspired designs to the festival, continues to inspire and support its mission of cultural preservation and environmental stewardship.
