FIRST THINGS FIRST
Be sure to join the Facebook event, and share it widely with your business and personal networks on all your social media channels! We’ll be boosting the event as the show gets closer, but the more people we have ‘interested’ and ‘going’ before that happens, the bigger the crowds!
We do not cancel shows for any weather-related events; all shows take place rain or shine. Unfortunately we have no control over the weather, nor could we recoup the costs of a show if we were to cancel it as close to showtime as a weather-related incident would dictate. This also applies to impacts from wildfires. Based on the past few years’ wildfire seasons on the West Coast, it is possible that we could encounter smoke in the air or hazardous air quality at some of our spring or summer shows. Please keep this in mind when applying for these shows.
lodging
We realize many of you may be coming from out of town, and summertime lodging in Port Townsend can be expensive, and books up quickly! The Harborside Inn has reserved a block of rooms for us at a slightly discounted rate. Please call to make your reservation and mention the group name Urban Craft Uprising.
HARBORSIDE INN:
- King / Double Queen Rooms on the 1st Floor: $180 + tax
- King / Double Queen Rooms on the 2nd Floor: $190 + tax

LOCAL RECOMMENDATIONS
Things we love in Port Townsend!
If you want something fancy and delicious, can’t recommend Finistere enough. I only went for my birthday one year but it was a memorable experience
I recently ate at Green Cow Taco and really loved their options! It was really good.
Hanazano is one of my faves in Port Townsend!
Khu Larb Thai is one of the only establishments we may be impacting during the show and the locals say this place is great so we HIGHLY recommend checking them out!
Better Living Through Coffee is just a really sweet little spot.
Pane D’Amore is incredible!
Fort Worden is a great place to check out. We go there camping once a year and while getting a spot there is like a competitive sport, if you are lucky enough to go, you will not regret it!
There are plenty of good places to check out during your time in Port Townsend. We hope you add a day or two to your stay to check out this super fun town! Many things are closed Monday-Wednesday just to keep in mind as you think about your stay.
