Twin Peaks Fest

Thanks for a great fest!

Another fest has come and gone, and this year it was bigger and better than ever. Our special guest was none other than Mr. Leland Palmer himself, the ever charming Ray Wise. It was truly a treat being able to hear him reminisce with Sheryl Lee, Lenny Von Dohlen, Phoebe Augustine, and Sherilyn Fenn. And his singing and dancing were a treat for us all.

With even more attendees than last year, we had quite the crowd, which gave us some pains when it came to managing autographs and photos, but we figured it out in the end! Snoqualmie locals (and fest attendees) Barb and Richard K. once again surprised and delighted fans with a replica of the One-Eyed Jack's neon sign, positioned in the lobby of the Saturday evening celebrity banquet event. They even brought the Welcome sign they built last year to the banquet to help greet the arriving fans. We are so very thankful for all the time, money, and effort they've put into these iconic monuments for the fans and the festival!

Being that next year will mark the 20th anniversary of the premiere of Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me AND the 20th annual Twin Peaks Festival, we're urging you to mark your calendars NOW. The 2012 Twin Peaks Festival will be held August 3rd - 5th, in and around North Bend, WA.

Thanks again for making this yet another special festival year, and we hope to see you in 2012!
Amanda and Jared

Celebrity Guest Confirmed - Phoebe Augustine

We are pleased to announce that Phoebe Augustine has accepted our invitation to join us for the 2011 Twin Peaks Festival! You will definitely remember Phoebe as Laura Palmer's "partner-in-crime" Ronette Pulaski in both the television series and the film Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me. This will be Phoebe's third Festival visit, having joined us previously in 2005 and 2006.

As always, please remember that our celebrity guests are still working actors and performers, and while they have indeed committed to joining us for the festival, if a role or performance comes along that conflicts with our festival schedule, their work must take precedence. We don't foresee any issues, but we still feel we need to remind our fans of this occasionally. Thank you everyone for your support and understanding.

Celebrity Guest Confirmed - Lenny Von Dohlen

We're excited to announce that Lenny Von Dohlen has accepted our invitation to join us at the 2011 Twin Peaks Festival! You'll remember Lenny as the sweet but troubled Harold Smith, a role he played both in the television series and in the feature film Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me. He's had a number of film and television roles, getting his start with the Robert Duvall vehicle Tender Mercies and quickly landing the lead in Electric Dreams not too long after. Most recently he did a fantastic turn as Sheriff Andrew Jackson in the Psych Twin Peaks homage episode "Dual Spires", along with such fellow Peakers as Sheryl Lee and Sherilyn Fenn. His first love, though, is the stage, and he has quite an impressive theatre repertoire under his belt, including roles in "Desire Under the Elms", "Hamlet", and "Light", to name a few. This will be Lenny's second Festival visit, having joined us previously in 2002. He is definitely looking forward to connecting with fans!

Celebrity Guest Confirmed - Sherilyn Fenn

We are pleased to announce that Sherilyn Fenn has accepted our invitation to join us at the 2011 Twin Peaks Festival! Many of you (if not all of you!) know her as the saucy and stubborn Audrey Horne from Twin Peaks. She’s appeared on the big screen in such projects as Two Moon Junction, Boxing Helena, and most recently the independent film The Scenesters. Sherilyn has also gathered numerous television projects under her belt, including Rude Awakening, Dawson’s Creek, and Gilmore Girls. This will be her second festival, and she’s excited to be returning!

Celebrity Guest Confirmed - Sheryl Lee

We are pleased to announce that Sheryl Lee has accepted our invitation to join us for the 2011 Twin Peaks Festival! Sheryl played the much-loved dual roles of Laura Palmer and Maddy Ferguson. She's made a number of film and television appearances outside of Twin Peaks, including Backbeat, Wild at Heart, and recurring roles on Dirty Sexy Money and One Tree Hill. She also took part in the special "Dual Spires" episode of Psych this past November. This will be her very first festival appearance (although she did attend the 1992 premiere of Fire Walk With Me) and she is very excited to be joining us!
