The Edmonds Arts Festival has grown from a small community art fair to one of the most prestigious in the Pacific Northwest, attracting artists from across the nation and Canada. The Festival provides a unique opportunity for patrons to meet artists and purchase their work in a beautiful outdoor setting overlooking Puget Sound. The Festival offers free live entertainment, a juried gallery art exhibition and sale, a nationally-recognized juried student art exhibit, and a hands-on children’s art activity area.

The Edmonds Arts Festival features more than 160 booth artists, juried art from more than 400 regional artists,  and over 1,000 pieces of art from K-12 students within the Edmonds School District’s boundaries. Add to that the 20 food vendors and multiple performing arts groups! Want to be a part of it all? Apply here!
