The Arts in Anacortes are Alive and well! For over 50 years, the Anacortes Arts Festival has been bringing visitors to our community to celebrate the arts. The community is home to thriving arts organizations who offer year-round programming in theater, music, visual and literary arts.The City boasts a large public art collection in locations ranging from city streets and buildings, to waterfront settings, to parks and forestlands.

Summertime in Anacortes is brimming with art and music…The 58th Anacortes Arts Festival August 2-4, takes over downtown with art, music, food, beer gardens and fun experiences – including the Art Dash on August 3 that funds public art projects.

The Port of Anacortes Concert Series at Seafarer’s Memorial Park provide free music from 6 – 8pm every Wednesday and Friday evenings during July and August.   The City of Anacortes also hosts a summertime free concert series on Saturday evenings from 6 – 8pm at the Heart of Anacortes.

For a fine art focus, come to the First Friday Gallery Walk the first Friday of each month, where local galleries open their doors and patrons mingle and stroll throughout old town…or visit the Winderemere Madrona Grove Sculpture Garden at the historic Depot Arts Center.  Don’t forget the Anacortes Farmer’s Market on Saturday mornings for produce, craft foods, artisans and music.
