Anacortes Arts Festival – August 6, 7, & 8

Anacortes Arts Festival

August 6, 7, & 8

On August 6, 7 and 8, 2010, the streets of Anacortes fill with 260 outstanding juried Booth Artisans, first class Fine Art Exhibitions, Culinary Art with an international selection of foods, and a creative Youth Activities area for the youngest artists. Join us for our 49th Arts Festival.

The Youth Discovery Area is located at 7th Street. With the help of organizational partners, the Discovery Area offers fun activities and crafts for our youngest visitors. Activities range from puppet making to origami, printmaking to sand-play, face painting to paddleboats, movement activities to ethnic crafts. This bright and busy area will get the creative juices flowing.

The Interactive Tent directly across Commercial Ave from the youth area offers a venue for kids and adults to be entertained and interact up close with performers from various artistic disciplines.

Garden Art

We are expanding the number of Booth Artisans this year to include a Garden Art area between 2nd and 3rd Streets just north of the Main Stage. Nine Booth Artisans will provide a great selection of artistic creations for your home.
