The Anacortes Arts Festival is a non-profit organization that promotes and funds arts, artists, and art education to create a vibrant arts community. Our exciting Festival is a free event to the public and includes two stages of free entertainment daily, a beer garden, a wine bar and a youth area which is dedicated space for kids and family activities.

Anacortes is known for its warm, small-town hospitality, and we work hard to maintain a supportive environment for artists. The community’s 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 $1.5 million over the course of three days.
