Apply Now for Summer Arts Fair

The San Juan Island Summer Arts Fair is the largest and longest-running art extravaganza on the islands. Held the third weekend in July, we block off Court Street with rows of white tents where talented artists show and sell their wares to the sounds of fun local music wafting over the courthouse lawn. Buy a lunch from one of the food vendors and have a picnic on the lawn before exploring the fantastic pottery, textiles, jewelry, paintings, photography, sculpture, soaps, furniture, hammocks and so much more. Each artist is on site at their booth and ready to answer your questions.

Island Rec leads the always-anticipated Chalk It Up event, where kids of all ages decorate the courthouse sidewalks. Creative Passions Craft Supply House has a children’s crafts tent where all kinds of fun summer souvenirs are created with the help of crafter-extraordinaire Bonnie Turman.

Yummy desserts and a fabulous musical lineup complete the day with lively marimba, country, folk, local rock n roll. You won’t want to miss this one: The Summer Arts Fair is the most anticipated art festival of the year!
