Welcome to the new Daffodil Festival website.  Take a look around and enjoy.

The Daffodil Festival is celebrating its 80th year and our theme is “The Magic of Music.”  I believe that music is magical. Music can make a bad day better and a good day great. Music inspires us and can bring out countless passions, emotions and memories. Our favorite songs become mile markers on the road of our lives. How often have you heard a song and stopped to reminisce about a special moment in your past?

Louis Armstrong, Frank Sinatra, Elvis, The Beatles, Aerosmith, Michael Jackson, Lady Gaga…When you read these names, most of you know these people, yet these artists span almost five generations. Songs are a musical history that defines us, our culture, and our times. Music is something we can all share and enjoy together.

Like music, the Daffodil Festival has also undergone changes over the last eighty years.  If what you do defines who you are, then The Daffodil Festival is now Pierce County’s signature organization that promotes educational opportunities, community service, and leadership development. We have a Royalty program that will serve over 5,000 hours as Pierce County’s Official Ambassadors at more than 200 appearances this coming year.

In 2013 come and share the Magic of Music – it is everywhere!
