Leavenworth Events and Lodging

If your weekend get away brings you to Leavenworth, WA, remember - winter driving conditions are in effect. Although there is now snow in the passes and snowfall has been little and far between, conditions can and do change at a moments notice.

Be prepared! Carry chains, know how to install them; always travel the passes with a full tank of fuel, you never know if you will be stopped on the pass; bring an extra change of warm clothes, carry a first aid kit, road flares, check tire pressure in your spare tire, have a map of the area you are traveling, don't rely on navigational devices such as Tom - Tom, Garvin, Map Quest; if spending the night, make a reservation BEFORE traveling.

Festival weekend accommodations fill quickly and early. Sometimes needing to book a month or more in advance is not uncommon. You may want to verify you have a reservation, request a confirmation notice and make sure you are not double booked.

Festival times are very special; come enjoy and relax, but please come prepared.
