Why do we do it?
Since 1958, the Edmonds Arts Festival has been a beloved tradition, drawing tens of thousands of visitors each Father’s Day weekend to the charming waterfront city of Edmonds — home of Washington’s first certified Creative District. Held at the Frances Anderson Center, the 2025 festival will take place June 13–15, with hours from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday. Guests come to explore artist galleries, shop for unique creations, enjoy live performances, and connect with community — all in a beautiful setting.

A portion of the festival’s proceeds is donated to the Edmonds Arts Festival Foundation, a 501(c)(3) organization that supports cultural and educational enrichment through the arts. The foundation provides scholarships, grants, and public art installations, and contributes to numerous nonprofit arts programs throughout the community.
