A beloved tradition for those residing in the great state of Washington, the Mt. Rainier Festival is taking place from September 19 – 20 this year.

Both days will feature a variety of food vendors, live entertainment and microbrews for the tasting. There will also be special deals on equipment that you don’t want to miss.

If workshops are your thing, the festival has you covered. You’ll want to review the full schedule to be sure you are in the right place at the right time. We suggest the “Boot and Back Fit Seminar,” the “Stove Technology for Climbing” demonstration, and the Mt. Rainier preparation workshop for those looking to set out on their first trek of the mountain.

Lou Whittaker and Jim Whittaker, two of the world’s most respected climbers, will be signing copies of their books on Saturday. Sarah Whittaker will be hosting a special Mountain Yoga session during the day as well.
