Bellevue Festival of the Arts is a juried arts and crafts fair located just across Lake Washington from Seattle. It takes place in an easily accessible and attractive outdoor setting under the clear blue skies of the pacific Northwest summer. Its cheery and well-organized, prime location in the Cost Plus World Market lot puts the festival squarely within the heart of Bellevue and guarantees attendees easy access to all the wonderful arts activities available in the city at this time of year. We are now celebrating our 26th year as an annual juried arts and crafts fair featuring 180 of the most talented and popular artisans and craftspeople in the Northwest and beyond.
The Bellevue Festival of the Arts offers the highest quality art selected by an exacting jury. Produced by the Craft Cooperative of the Northwest we continue to support a variety of charities with proceeds from the festival.
