It’s time to let loose and join the festivities as San Juan Islands celebrate over a decade of culinary delights, local farming and independent filmmaking this fall during Savor the San Juans.
Nestled amidst the natural beauty of Orcas, Lopez and San Juan Islands, Savor the San Juans–a celebration of food, farms and films that takes place during a variety of events from September to November–is the perfect way to ease into the fall season with an array of local food, spirits, music and breathtaking landscapes.
One of the highlights of Savor the San Juans is the selection of farm-to-table dinners prepared by local chefs. These dining experiences use fresh, seasonal ingredients sourced directly from the island’s farms. For those eager to explore the essence of farm life by the beach, Savor the San Juans offers special packages to enjoy farm tours, demonstrations and workshops on Lopez, Orcas and San Juan Islands during the harvest season. This is an amazing chance to see the dedication and passion of the local farms as they work to bring produce from their fields to your plate.
Savor the San Juans also celebrates the spirit of independent filmmaking. With over 40 films taking the stage, the annual event provides a platform for artists to showcase their creativity and talents, while providing film lovers an opportunity to connect and share experiences through panels, parties and special events.
Experience the magic of San Juan Island, where the best food, farms and films converge to create an experience like no other.
