To avoid overloading these announcements and duplication with other sources, Local 20/20 announcements include only those arts and cultural events which are directly related to our mission of promoting sustainability and resiliency through action and education. We encourage folks to check out Bareboards, My City Scene, KPTZ, the Port Townsend Leader and its community calendar, and the Peninsula Daily News for other local arts, music, and cultural events.
