San Juan Islands peak summer season runs from Memorial Day through Labor Day, with the heaviest demand during July and August holiday weekends. The Orcas Island summer concert series, the Doe Bay Fest each August, and the legendary Fourth of July week generate the largest demand spikes. We recommend six to eight weeks of lead time for peak summer SUV and Sprinter bookings, since Orcas Island lodging fills four to six months ahead during peak summer weeks.
