For over 30 years, Twin Peaks has drawn fans worldwide to North Bend and Snoqualmie, where familiar landmarks became legendary pieces of television history. Every February 24, fans celebrate Twin Peaks Day, when FBI Special Agent Dale Cooper first arrived in the fictional town.
As in years past, North Bend Mayor Mary Miller and Snoqualmie Mayor Katherine Ross have officially proclaimed February 24, 2025, as Twin Peaks Day, recognizing the show’s enduring connection to the region.
While the annual tradition continues, this year’s celebration takes on deeper significance as fans gather to honor the late David Lynch, the visionary filmmaker who transformed the Snoqualmie Valley into an eerie and iconic landscape.
With The Real Twin Peaks Weekend running from February 21–24, fans can immerse themselves in four days of panels, screenings, meet-and-greets, music, trivia, guided tours, and, of course, plenty of coffee and cherry pie.
A Tribute to David Lynch
Lynch’s recent passing in 2025 makes this year’s gathering more meaningful than ever. On Friday, February 21, fans will gather at Sno Valley Eagles for a David Lynch Memorial, offering a moment to reflect on his artistic legacy.
The day continues with a panel discussion on Mulholland Drive at Friends & Co Ice Cream, followed by a deep dive into Twin Peaks’ use of music with the “Always Music in the Air” panel at Boxleys. Later, Ray Wise (Leland Palmer) hosts a screening of Robocop at North Bend Theatre, followed by a meet-and-greet.
For fans who love testing their knowledge, Twin Peaks Trivia at William Grassie Wine promises to challenge even the most die-hard viewers. The evening wraps up with Leland’s Karaoke at Snoqualmie Valley Moose Lodge, where attendees can belt out their favorite tunes in true Lynchian fashion.
Diving Deeper into Twin Peaks
Saturday, February 22, offers a packed schedule for fans who want to explore the show’s depths. The morning starts at The Black Dog Arts Café with the “Did You Know? More Fun Facts About Filming Locations” panel, where attendees can learn insider details about Twin Peaks filming in the Valley.
From there, fans can head to North Bend Theatre for Cinema Unwrapped, featuring a Q&A and signing with Ray Wise. The night takes a nostalgic turn as Sno Valley Eagles host a 1989-themed prom, where fans can dress in their best late-’80s attire and dance the night away.
Sunday: Coffee, Donuts & Fan Films
Sunday, February 23, the North Bend Theatre will host the Fan Film Fest, showcasing original short films inspired by Twin Peaks and Lynch’s unique storytelling style.
Over at Volition Brewing, the Run Silent Flip Loud event invites fans to participate in a Twin Peaks-themed flip cup contest, a nod to Nadine Hurley’s obsession with silent drape runners.
The evening will include live entertainment, including a performance by Wisteria Lodge at North Bend Theatre, followed by an exclusive sneak peek of a new Twin Peaks-related film directed by Richard Green.
