The Edmonds Arts Festival, set for June 13-15, celebrates local artistry and entertainment in Edmonds, Washington. Spanning nearly a city block, the festival features approximately 170 artisans and live performances in the Field, alongside food vendors offering a variety of options. The Edmonds Arts Plaza highlights local artists through 45 booths and live acoustic performances, while the Galleries showcase over 550 juried art pieces, including student artwork. Due to limited parking, attendees should consider public transportation and ride-sharing options, as no designated patron parking or shuttle service is available this year. The festival is wheelchair accessible, with ramps and elevators in the Frances Anderson Center.

Parking for ADA patrons is reserved near the center, and visitors should be mindful of those needing this service. The festival's commitment to inclusivity ensures that art experiences are accessible to all. The event not only promotes local talent but also fosters community engagement through arts and culture.
