Welcome to the social event of 1897: WWCMF’s musical Salon. Perhaps you remember chamber music pops from the June 2025 Festival. This is that, but through the lens of a classic 19th century salon. Salon music typically consists of short character pieces that emphasize charm, style and sentiment. Therefore, our program features music by Elgar, Kreisler, Fauré, Saint-Saëns, Mendelssohn, Shostakovich and more. Salon style is best experienced at close range.
Audience seating onstage will be available on a first-come, first-served basis for those who want a truly authentic experience.

Will peacetime bring peace of mind, or will he be confronted by the consequence of his actions?
Paapa Essiedu (I May Destroy You), Tom Glynn-Carney (House of the Dragon), and Hayley Squires (I, Daniel Blake) also feature in this disturbingly prescient play.

Summer Concert Series: The Chris Eger Band
REAL. AMERICAN. MUSIC.
Very few musicians are said to be extraordinary examples of excellence in any one genre of music. Even fewer can be described as exceptional across multiple. When considering Chris Eger fits into the latter category as both a guitarist AND vocalist, it is no doubt an especially rare gift.
Fronting his own band for close to a decade now, Chris has taken his game to a new level and a new town. When Nashville called, he answered, and this highly anticipated project was born. Eger and his longtime guitar-hero, and Nashville recording artist, Eric Heatherly, joined forces and have crafted an album that demands attention. Rock and Blues, Country, Funk and Soul collide in this modern take on vintage roots music.
These are not overproduced, synthesized tunes created by a computer. This is raw, powerful, handmade – in the USA! The Chris Eger Band is: REAL. AMERICAN. MUSIC.

Blood Of Gods 2026 Annual Merrymaking
It's back! It's thirsty! The Blood Of Gods Annual Merrymaking returns on Saturday, July 18 in the heart of Walla Walla, WA!
THIS ISN’T A WINE FESTIVAL.
IT’S A SUMMONING.
Blood of Gods returns for its fifth year with the gates thrown open and the volume turned up. Heavy metal. Wild, feral wines. Art that doesn’t behave. For one day in Walla Walla, all of it collides into something louder, stranger, and more alive than anything you’ll find on a tasting-room calendar.
You don’t show up to watch - you step inside. You taste with the winemakers. You talk with the artists. Conversations bleed into pours. Music bleeds into the pulse. Strangers become familiar somewhere between the first sip and the last song.
If you think wine should thrill, music should shake the walls, and culture should be made by the people in the room - not sold back to them later - then you already belong here.
...Welcome to Blood of Gods. 🍷⚔️

Growing up in a Hispanic household, he was exposed to multiple genres of music which included Corridos, Cumbia, Rock, Hip Hop, Country, Funk and much more. Though the love for diverse music began to grow, he realized the genre that connected with him the most was none other than the Blues. The emotion, feel, and rawness of the genre was more than enough to draw him in.
With inspiration from Freddie King, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Buddy Guy, Prince and most importantly, his personal mentor Gary Winston, it became clear that music is what he was wanting to pursue. Get ready for an experience that will keep you at the edge of your seat throughout the night with his explosive guitar work and booming vocals.

Summer Concert Series: The JuneBugs
Imagine if Neil Young and Janis Joplin had three love children, and those children grew up to like folk rock and hip hop.
The Junebugs combine high-energy pop and rock with Pacific Northwest folksy goodness to create a genre-bending sound you can kick up your heels to.
The Junebugs originated on the Vancouver, BC circuit before moving back home to Portland, OR. There, guitarist Barrett picked up drummer Kyle Owen and bassist Nathaniel Daniel, to round out the dynamic trio. Covering everything from Tom Petty to TLC to Lorde, the eclectic taste of the trio ranges from turn-of-the-century Americana to modern Hip Hop, with a strong emphasis on vocal harmony.
Their original tunes have a dreamy, sweet quality reminiscent of Neil Young and Iron & Wine, peppered with fiery banjo lines. There is something for everyone here.

Walla Walla Pride Festival Returns Downtown for Its Sixth Year
The Walla Walla Pride Festival returns to Downtown Walla Walla on Saturday, June 6, 2026, celebrating its sixth year as a free, family-friendly community event. Building on the success of last year’s downtown festival, the event will take place from 12 to 5 p.m. at Heritage Square Park (116 E Main St.). All are welcome.
This year’s theme, “Stronger Together,” reflects Walla Walla Pride’s commitment to unity, resilience, and collective care. The theme emphasizes the power of coming together to support our LGBTQ+ neighbors and build a more inclusive, connected Walla Walla Valley for everyone.
Our 2026 festival will feature live performances, speakers, music, local vendors, community booths, and activities for all ages. While food and beverage vendors will not be located inside the festival area, attendees are encouraged to support local businesses and experience Walla Walla during the event by exploring the many restaurants, tasting rooms, and shops of our downtown district.
Walla Walla Pride is a community-driven, volunteer-led organization. Continued support from our partners, including the Downtown Walla Walla Foundation, Visit Walla Walla, local businesses, and community partners, makes it possible to host an inclusive and accessible celebration in the heart of our city.
If you would like to get involved with this year’s festival, you can do so by donating to Walla Walla Pride, becoming a partner or a festival vendor, joining our volunteer team, or even simply attending the festival. Every form of support helps strengthen our community in Walla Walla.
“Pride reminds us that community is built through connection, visibility, and care,” said Jeremy Mendenhall, organizer and administrative chair for Walla Walla Pride. “Each year, this festival grows because people show up for one another. Stronger Together reflects both the heart of Pride and the spirit of Walla Walla.”

Beyond the Surface - Kris Stewart
In Beyond the Surface, Kris Stewart invites you into a world of experimental cyanotypes where the sun itself is a collaborator.
The collection consists of both wall art and artists books, each starting life as a golden wash of sensitizer, only to reveal their luminous blues after exposure to sunlight. But these aren't your typical cyanotypes. Unlike traditional methods, Kris works wet, pushing the process into unexpected territory with a range of additives to create striking edges, rich depth, and a sense of movement that seems almost alive.

Demo Class: Spring Salmon at East Alder Table
Spring in Washington means the return of salmon — and with it, one of the most important ingredients in the kitchen.
This class is about seeing the whole picture. You’ll experience salmon from start to finish as our chef team works through the breakdown of whole, seasonal fish and demonstrates how different cuts are handled, prepared, and cooked with intention. This experience leans more into demonstration and guided tasting than hands-on cooking.
Guests will gather around the workshop as the class unfolds, with opportunities to ask questions, step in, and engage more directly throughout. Along the way, you’ll taste multiple preparations of salmon, learning how technique, temperature, and timing shape the final dish.
As the evening progresses, the East Alder Table team will round out the table with a seasonal spread designed to complement what you’ve learned — bringing everything together into a full, shared meal. It’s an immersive, workshop-style experience focused on building confidence with fish, deepening your understanding of technique, and enjoying the process along the way.

Built from Grenache, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Syrah, it opens with kirsch, cassis, roasted herbs, graphite, and warm spice. It is generous yet grounded, powerful without heaviness.
We’ll explore how richness softens tannin. How spice amplifies fruit. How umami deepens the wine’s savory edge. How each bite shifts the expression in the glass. This is a guided tasting built around one wine and a full progression of pairings. Generous, interactive and meant to be shared.

Our Mr. Matsura
On May 20th, 2026, at 7PM, Gesa Power House Theatre proudly presents Our Mr. Matsura, directed by Emmy award-winning filmmaker Beth Harrington. This program is supported in part by Friends of the Theatre, and a grant from the Washington State Arts Commission.
Our Mr. Matsura is the story of Frank (Sakae) Matsura, the orphaned son of a samurai, who emigrated to Washington State in 1901, eventually settling in remote Okanogan County. There he embedded himself in a community of Native people and newly arrived settlers and immigrants, including miners, ranchers, shopkeepers, and cowboys. In short order, he became the region’s leading photo-chronicler and, to many, its most beloved citizen. Matsura not only made engaging photographs of people, events, and landscapes, but he also revealed facets of himself through scores of unusual self-portraits. Upon his untimely death at the age of 39, he was mourned in the largest funeral anyone in the area had seen to that date. Through his lens, Frank Matsura offered up remarkable retellings of life in the American West and gave people new ways of thinking about themselves. A century later, the people of the county and the Colville Confederated Tribes still have pride and a sense of connection to the work he created.
Five years in the making, Our Mr. Matsura includes the thoughts and family memories of a wide array of people from the Colville Confederated Tribes and the small Washington communities of Okanogan, Omak, Conconully, and Brewster, as well as extended family members in Japan and experts from around the world. The film not only celebrates the life of this amazing immigrant photographer, but also the lives of the people who have helped uphold his memory in the century since his death.

Mack Wilberg "Requiem"

The program also features the heartfelt plea for our world in Earth Song by Frank Ticheli, alongside choral masterworks including Beati quorum via by Charles V. Stanford and the tender, expressive Entreat Me Not to Leave You by Dan Forrest. Together, these works create a journey of longing, comfort, and connection – brought to life by voices from our own community and an orchestra of about 20 local musicians.
Cooking Class: Fresh Pasta Workshop with East Alder Table
Roll, fill, and cook your own fresh pasta in this hands-on class designed to build confidence and technique from the ground up.
Fresh Pasta Night is all about learning the fundamentals — from mixing and rolling dough to shaping, filling, and cooking pasta that’s silky, tender, and made entirely by hand. You’ll start by creating fresh pasta dough, then roll it out and cut tagliatelle ribbons with the right texture and thickness. From there, you’ll move into filled pasta, crafting ricotta ravioli with toasted walnuts for added richness and depth.
To bring everything together, you’ll prepare a vibrant roasted tomato sauce with garlic confit and fresh herbs — a simple, bold pairing that lets the pasta shine. While you work, the chef team will round out the table with a full, thoughtfully prepared spread: roasted chicken with garlic and caper dressing, seasonal vegetables, a fresh salad, warm focaccia, and a classic dessert to finish.
It’s a hands-on, flour-dusted kind of night — equal parts skill-building and shared meal, where you’ll leave with new techniques and probably a little pasta dough on your sleeve.
