GEORGE, Wash. — The Sasquatch Music Festival that drew thousands to the scenic Gorge Amphitheatre in central Washington each year has come to an end.

Founder Adam Zacks says after seventeen years he will no longer produce the outdoor fest.

Zacks wrote in a statement released Thursday that “today we take a bow and bid fond farewell to Sasquatch.”

The festival held over Memorial Day weekend began as a single-day event in 2002 and over the years has sold over a million tickets and seen more than 1,300 bands perform including the Beastie Boys, the Cure and Kanye West.
