Ocean Shores WA Irish music festival?

[Bad Monkey]

anyone going/playing the festival this year? We'll be playing the whole festival, 2-3 shows each day. Just like St. Paddy's day all over again.

I haven't been to that festival, are there any informal jams (where people can play) or is it all just scheduled concerts where people can only listen but not join in? I'm guessing it's not going to be the Irish version of Centrum's "Fiddle Tunes" festival though...

as I understand it, there are informal sessions as well as scheduled sessions hosted by many of the bands. I know we'll be doing some extra sessions on the beach; I'm sure we won't be the only ones...
