Registration

Cascadia Irish Music Week 2020

Registration is now open for Cascadia Irish Music Week 2020.  The dates are July 19-25, 2020 at The Evergreen State College (TESC), Olympia, Washington.  Please read through the information on this page before submitting your registration. If you have questions not answered here, please email us.

Please note: Tuition, lodging and meals must be booked through us on this website, not through the college.

Lodgings - Our lodgings for the week are in Evergreen's lovely apartment buildings.  Each building has three floors, and on each floor are several private rooms with locking doors, plus a shared kitchen area and bathrooms.  Unfortunately the range and microwave in these units are disabled during the summer, but there is a refrigerator in each kitchen area.  

Couples: The Evergreen State College charges us by the person, rather than by the room, and each room has only a single bed. Let us know on the application form if you want to room near someone and we will aim to assign you rooms as close as possible.

These structures are tucked back in the woods and are very pleasant.  You can read more about these lodgings and even take a panoramic tour of the rooms on the TESC website.  If you're staying on-campus you'll also have access to the recreation center, and the lovely woods, trails and beaches adjoining the campus.

Meals - All meals are served in the dining Hall at TESC, "The Greenery".  They can accommodate vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free dietary needs.  There is also an espresso shop on campus (not included in our meal plan) . . . two of them, in fact. If you don't choose the full meal plan, you can purchase individual meals in the Greenery depending on availability.

Notes:

A deposit of $100 (nonrefundable and non-transferable) per registrant is required to confirm your registration and hold your selections.

Full payment is due by June 1, 2020  If full payment is not received by this date your place in the classes is not guaranteed.  Registration after June 1 for any remaining spaces must be accompanied by full payment.

Cancellations:  
  • Between now and May 12, should you decide to cancel your registration, we will reimburse you in full.
  • After May 12, our cancellation policy is as described below, except
    • If at any time thereafter we cancel the event, we will reimburse you in full.
Please remember that the deposit is not refundable.   If you have to cancel your registration we will quickly return any other fees you've already paid, but we can't return your $100 deposit.  To receive a refund of payments you've made in excess of the $100 deposit, notification must be made by mail or email and received by Cascadia Irish Music Week no later than July 1, 2020, after which no refunds will be issued except in cases of medical or family emergency.

A $3/day/M-F parking fee is NOT included in the above packages.  Daily and weekly parking permits can be purchased directly at the College.

We cannot accommodate "partial week" registrations . . . thanks for your understanding!
