2013-0730-arts-festival

Now in its 6th decade, the Anacortes Arts Festival welcomes visitors and artists from throughout the region and beyond. The Festival features 250 diverse Booth Artisans who transform six blocks of historic downtown.

Extending down to the water, Arts at the Port showcases over 30 northwest fine artists in three exhibitions.

The Experience Art Area features demonstrating artists. Hands-on Youth Activities spark the creativity of the youngest Festival-goers. Our Food and Beverage areas offer over 25 regional and ethnic food vendors plus beer and wine gardens. Our musical lineup includes rock, country, blues, world beat, Latin, Jazz and Folk on two stages.

This year's poster was created by Anacortes artist Jennifer Bowman, an award-winning artist who has worked professionally for 17 years. She has been an invited Festival's booth artisan for over 10 years - her bright and bold designs attracting a loyal collector following.

Join us August 2, 3 & 4 and don't forget the Pre-Festival Arts at the Port will continue from July 29th through August 4th.
