THING FEST THIS SATURDAY

Carnation’s about to get loud. THING Festival returns to Remlinger Farms this Saturday with an eclectic lineup: The Roots, Cory Wong, Glass Beams, and Tune-Yards, all on one stage.

This year, THING’s been reimagined as four single-day events across August, each with its own vibe and headliners – so you can literally pick your “thing.” Music discovery is baked into the DNA, but the farm setting keeps it intimate, all-ages, and extremely Northwest.

Don’t miss your chance to dance in a field, eat local food, and catch legends alongside left-field finds.
