The Vashon Eagles will host an all-day benefit music festival, featuring a variety of teen and established musicians, this weekend.

The event, the Chautaqua Music Festival, will run from 1 p.m. until midnight, with music beginning at 2 p.m. Proceeds from the event will go to supporting the musical needs of underprivileged kids in the music programs at Chautauqua and McMurray, according to organizer Mike Dumovich.

“If you want a kid to pursue music, you have to get them a good instrument,” he added.

The festival, which will be emceed by the Washington State Fairies, will include music across the spectrum, Dumovich said, ranging from a youth classical music ensemble to folk artist Kat Eggleston to a rock ’n’ roll garage band.

“It is going to be a really fun event that way,” he said. “I am stoked about everyone who is playing.”

A Facebook page created for the event offers a detailed schedule of when the different acts will play. Dumovich said the Eagles can hold about 300 people; on Facebook so far more than 120 people have indicated they are planning to attend.

Dumovich noted the day will be family oriented, with volunteers and a police officer present, ensuring a safe atmosphere, and the night will be a bit more raucous.

In addition to music, there will be a raffle and food and T-shirts available for purchase.

Entry is by donation; $10 is suggested. If people cannot attend, they can donate through Indiegogo or drop money off at the Eagles.

“We hope to get $5,000. That would be wonderful,” Dumovich said.
