Join us for Orca Sing on 6/22!

Come honor the Southern Resident orcas at beautiful Lime Kiln Point State Park!

Join us for the 20th Annual Orca Sing, and gather for an evening of picnicking and live music while celebrating Orca Action Month.

Fred West and Seattle’s City Cantabile Choir will perform their delightful music.

An offering by Odin and Orca Annie of Tlingit songs and a First Nations tribute to our Southern Resident Kéet (Killer Whale) relatives in the Salish Sea will also be included in the program.

Tours of the historic lighthouse before and after the concert will be offered by Friends of Lime Kiln Society (FOLKS). Can you believe the lighthouse is 100 this year?!

The event is free and open to the public, although a Discover Pass is required for parking at the State Park. The Interpretive Center will be open for your enjoyment and Discover Pass needs ($30 annual, $10 day).

Carpooling is encouraged as parking is limited.

Round-trip transportation from Friday Harbor is also available through San Juan Transit for $10 a person (pick up is at 5:30 at The Whale Museum with an 8:30 departure from Lime Kiln).

This year’s event partners include Lime Kiln Point State Park, FOLKS, City Cantabile Choir, Friends of the San Juans, Vashon Hydrophone Project, Orca Network, and The Whale Museum.

For more information, contact The Whale Museum at 360-378-4710 ext. 30 or Friends of the San Juans at 360-378-2319.

I have supported the mission of the Friends of the San Juans through the years because it is a citizen-advocacy organization devoted to protecting, preserving, and restoring the natural shorelines and native habitats in the San Juans and surrounding waters through science and education for generations to come.
