The Northwest Percussion Festival was founded to give classical percussion ensembles from around the Northwest region a chance to perform for one another and exchange repertoire ideas.  The weekend also provides an opportunity for students and their directors to meet in and socialize in an informal environment, and for the music director-conductors of the ensembles to perform solo pieces for the students.  The continued growth and success of the NWPF each year is a tribute to the dedication and commitment of the Northwest's percussionists to the advancement of the percussive arts.
