Anacortes Arts Festival, August 4-6

One of the oldest and largest festivals in the Northwest, the Arts Festival annually attracts an estimated 90,000 visitors to our island hometown. We connect artists from all disciplines with an enthusiastic audience. 

The Festival stretches down Commercial Ave from 10th Street all the way to the Port dock on the Guemes Channel waterfront.  Along that route, you’ll get to experience Booth Artisans, Main, Jazz and Waterfront Stages, three Beer and Wine Gardens, Food trucks and vendors, a Kids Discovery Area,  Artists Demonstrating their craft,  AND Arts at the Port Fine Art Show on the dock.  And it’s free…

We hope you’ll come for a day or the weekend and help us celebrate our beautiful community and the creative spirit.
