Day In Day Out Festival 2023
Amidst the sun-drenched weekend, Respect My Region correspondent Farra, and I embraced the heat, thriving with the support of Celsius Energy. Remarkably, Day In Day Out achieved its first sold-out status since its inaugural year. The Fisher Pavilion was a bustling scene, with everyone relishing the vibrant atmosphere while vibing under the sun.
My favorite performances of the weekend were Dominic Fike & Willow. It was great to see the Dominic, who I’ve heard featured on so many tracks, performing in person and bringing the most killer vibe to the crowd. After seeing how the crowd was reacting to him and seeing the natural beauty of the landscape here, he was asking himself why he hadn’t spent more time in Washington yet.
Now, Willow, hands down, was a kick-ass performance. She’s a rockstar, literally. A year ago, she was in Seattle opening for MGK and now she’s back a year later to headline Day In Day Out. I’m excited to see where she will be in another year’s time.
With the incredible success this year, hopes are high for expanding the festival grounds. We would both describe Day In Day Out as a family-friendly indie pop festival located in the heart of Seattle, with a lineup that caters to the PNW audience.
As a vibrant chapter in Seattle’s cultural history, the Day in Day Out 2023 Festival unfolded against the backdrop of the city’s breathtaking landscapes. Attendees were treated to a sensory feast that effortlessly transcended the ordinary. Beyond music and art, the festival became a living embodiment of Seattle’s essence—a city that thrives on creativity, embraces diversity and possesses an insatiable thirst for exploration and discovery.
