The Festival at Sandpoint is a non-profit organization that has hosted an annual summer concert series for over 40 years. Their Summer Series spans 8-10 nights during July and the beginning of August and takes place at War Memorial Field.

In addition to the world-renowned talent headlining the shows, the Festival also often showcases local musicians as openers or at their Community Night performance.
