Five Years of Better Daze: How a DIY Dream Became a PNW Community Staple

Five years ago, Better Daze started as an idea — a space where artists could show up exactly as they are and feel supported doing it. Now, heading into its 5th year, the festival has grown into one of the most genuine celebrations of music and community in the PNW.

Founded by LA SAVANT, Better Daze was built with the intention of creating opportunities for local artists of every genre and background to connect, perform, and grow together. What began as a grassroots dream has turned into a weekend people look forward to every year — not just for the music, but for the feeling of being surrounded by

people who truly care about the creative community.

This year’s festival takes over Tombstone Ranch in Springdale, WA on May 8 & 9 with a lineup full of PNW talent, local vendors, art, food, and space to discover your next favorite artist. Whether you’ve been coming since year one or you’re pulling up for the first time, Better Daze has a way of making everyone feel welcome.

There’s something really special about watching a DIY idea grow into a lasting tradition, and Better Daze continues to prove how much can happen when people invest in their community and believe in what they’re building together.
