Its major sponsors include Subaru of America Inc.; Kenmore Air; QFC; LoBo Designs; Innovation Law Group Ltd. of Sequim; and Peninsula Daily News.
The Sequm Lavender Festival’s food, music, lavender products and crafts fair will be on Fir Street between Sequim Avenue and Third Avenue in downtown Sequim.
The Farm Faire food, music, lavender products and crafts fair will be at Sequim’s Carrie Blake Park and has been christened “Lavender in the Park.”
Both festivals will have tours of Sequim lavender farms.
Members of the new farmers group broke off from the growers group earlier this year.
