Welcome to Samish Island!
“No Island Like Samish Island”
The Samish Island Community Center’s (SICC) mission is to encourage community development and interaction through educational and social activities among islanders. To that end, it also maintains the community center property as the primary place to gather.
We acknowledge that Samish Island is within the aboriginal territory of the Samish Indian Nation. They were and are respected for their spiritual, cultural, and traditional values and practices, such as weaving, carving, and building of longhouses. The Samish People lived here in stewardship of the lands and waterways of the Salish Sea since time immemorial. https://www.samishtribe.nsn.us/

SICC Annual Concert Series
SICC is proud to host a series of three concerts in March, April, and May at the community center. Purchase a seat for all three concerts for $70, or individual-show seats for $30. Purchase your tickets HERE.
3/8 Pearl Django is a jazz group established in 1994 in Tacoma and melds the music of Django Reinhardt and Stephane Grappelli with American Swing. They play traditional jazz classics and original compositions and are among the most highly regarded gypsy jazz groups working today.
4/19 Gallowglass is an acoustic Irish band that interprets traditional and contemporary Celtic folk music, with a focus on vocal harmonies, unique instrumentation, and compelling arrangements. They’ll bring the Community center alive with centuries-old, richly emotive music.
5/3 Corazones de Cedro brings the centuries-old vibrant musical tradition of Son Jarocho—blending Indigenous, Spanish, and West African roots—from the Gulf Coast of Mexico to WA with performances that are rhythmically sophisticated and completely engaging.
