SOAR Festival 2026

The Hilltop will host SOAR Festival 2026 on Saturday, August 22, from 6 to 11 p.m. at Cave B Estate Winery in Quincy, Washington. Set against the breathtaking beauty of the Gorge, the festival is an extraordinary evening of music, culture, and inspiration celebrating the launch of a bold new vision for arts and culture in the Pacific Northwest.

The evening will feature world-class performances by acclaimed producer, composer, and songwriter David Foster and Friends, acclaimed vocalist and Broadway performer Katharine McPhee, accompanied by the Wenatchee Valley Symphony Orchestra, along with special appearances by renowned Seattle-based Broadway performer Mari Nelson and Alexander Kilian.

More than a concert, the festival is the first public expression of the campus mission — an invitation to experience the world-class performances, cultural experiences, educational programming, environmental exploration, and artistic discovery that will define The Hilltop for years to come.

“Join us in a place like no other.”
