Seventeen years after its inception, the Sasquatch! Music Festival has officially folded.
KEXP reported the news Thursday, after the festival’s founder and producer Adam Zacks announced the annual event would not return in 2019.
“Sasquatch! will forever remain a tapestry of the people who worked with us,” Zacks said in a statement. “The artists who inspired us, and the varied experiences of the fans who attended it … of friendships made, engagements, hilltop weddings, permanent tattoos, once in a lifetime collaborations, weather events both treacherous and magnificent, at least one very public conception, and, of course, hundreds of awe inspiring performances. My humblest gratitude to all of you.”
