Anacortes Arts Festival

From Anacortes Arts Festival Website:

Thank you for your interest in the 2020 Anacortes Arts Festival (AAF). AAF is a non-profit organization that promotes and funds arts, artists and art education to create a vibrant arts community. The Festival is in its 59th year, hosts more than 255 artisans, averages around 80,000 visitors and produces a highly acclaimed fine art show.

Anacortes is located on breathtaking Fidalgo Island at the front of the San Juan Islands, in Northwest Washington. As a beautiful Puget Sound destination, the Anacortes community graciously hosts events throughout the year and the Festival is the largest of those events. There is a dynamic art community in this small town and the support of the Festival is evident with the more than 250 volunteers, who donate their gift of time to make our guests and booth artisans feel welcome. Last year, our total booth artisan sales were more than $1.35 million over the course of the three days.

Anacortes is known for its warm, small-town hospitality, and we work hard to maintain a supportive environment for artists. This exciting Festival is a free event to the public and includes three stages of free entertainment daily, two beer gardens, a wine bar and a youth area which is dedicated space for kids and family activities.
