Ferry

Imagine Music & Arts Festival will be held on Orcas Island in the San Juan Islands. To get there you will need to take a ferry from Anacortes Wa. Ferry reservations can be made at The Washington State Ferries website.

On the Anacortes/San Juan Islands routes:

Two months before the season starts at 10 a.m. PT:

30% of standard vehicle spaces are released

All 90% of tall, non-standard vehicle spaces (RVs, delivery trucks, etc.) are released

A virtual waiting room is in place to ensure a smooth and equitable experience during this high-demand time.

Note: the fall 2025 reservations release date will be moved out one month to prepare for the launch of our updated ticketing and reservations system.

Two weeks before each sailing date at 7 a.m. PT: Another 30% of standard vehicle spaces are released

Two days before each sailing date at 7 a.m. PT: The last 30% of standard vehicle spaces are released

The last 10% of standard vehicle space is kept open for emergency and stand-by vehicles. More stand-by space may open up if there are no-shows or cancellations.

Imagine Foot Ferry

In an effort to make getting to Imagine easy, super fun and reduce the number of cars on-site, we offer a festival foot ferry direct from Island Express Charters at Skyline Marina, Anacortes right to Orcas Island and Doe Bay! This saves you ferry wait times, cuts traveling and takes the stress out of dealing with the ferry schedule.

Bringing you own boat to Doe Bay

You will need to anchor in the cove at your own risk and you must pre-register using the form below. Please purchase tickets online before arrival since we will not sell tickets upon arrival on the beach.

You must check in with our harbor master when you arrive.

Transportation & Rideshare

There is no public transit on Orcas Island. It is ideal to bring your own vehicle and we encourage everyone to carpool due to limited parking spaces and to save on costs.

The distance from the Orcas Island Ferry Terminal to the Venue is about 20 miles (35 minute drive).Please respect the speed limits on the island and slow down for cyclists and pedestrians.
