DEER PARK, Wash. — The U-Pick lavender festival may be canceled this year due to COVID-19 restrictions, but you can still visit the Evening Light Lavender Farm and shop at the store.

The organic lavender farm will continue to be open Tuesday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Since the festival is canceled, there will be extended hours this weekend, July 11 and 12, from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.

The U-pick festival would usually have food, crafts, vendors and music. But instead, on July 11-12, the farm will be open for extended hours from 9am to 6pm.

And omg, really nice place for pictures! 😊💜 @kxly4news pic.twitter.com/ltmLhEIgu3
