After hearing nothing but fantastic feedback on last year’s debut edition of The Great Southern, it’s a pleasure to announce that the 4-day Twin Peaks celebration in Richmond, VA, is happening again June 9 through 12, 2016.
Charlotte Stewart will return to the festival to read from her upcoming memoir, Little House In The Hollywood Hills, and Kimmy Robertson will be back for a second time as well to perform live (!) with Little Black Rain Clouds. Other musical acts include Big No, Lodro, and a tribute concert for FBI Special Agent Phillip Jeffries (David Bowie) by Life On Mars and Gull.
All through town there will be a “Writing About Twin Peaks” panel, various (outdoor) screenings, an art & craft fair, a trivia and costume contest, and, as it goes with Twin Peaks events, lots of coffee and doughnuts! There’s even more to be announced, so keep an eye on the festival’s website.

After attending last year’s Great Southern, I can proudly say that it was terrific…and looks set to become even better. As Washington’s Twin Peaks Festival keeps expanding beyond the boundaries of Twin Peaks and more into Lynch’s other work, the Great Southern seems to be keeping pace! Looking forward to seeing the “core” of Charlotte, Kimmy, and Brad.
