KirtanFest slated for Port Townsend on Saturday

PORT TOWNSEND — The second KirtanFest is set for 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday.

Kirtan is the ages-old practice of the singing of the names of the Divine. No experience or beliefs are necessary to attend.

The festival will begin with yoga and vocal sounding when the doors open at 8 a.m. followed by four regional Kirtan bands.

Performers include the Port Townsend-based Shanti Salish, Ann Strickland from Bainbridge Island, Atma from Seattle and Shakti Seva from Whidbey Island.
