The highly anticipated Real Twin Peaks is back for 2026.

The event, spanning four days, is held each February on the weekend closest to “Twin Peaks” Day, Feb. 24. It is organized largely by the North Bend Downtown Foundation, Historic Downtown Snoqualmie and North Bend Theatre, with many local businesses happily joining in.
