Enjoy a variety of free music and dance performances during the Edmonds Arts Festival June 14-16.

The main venue is a beautiful outdoor amphitheater that features traditional seating and a large grassy area perfect for sharing a blanket while listening. This open-air theater will host top professional, community, and school performers in our region. From rock and roll, to pop, alternative, jazz, Americana, and world music, every year the variety and quality of music at the festival gets enthusiastic reviews.

A unique aspect of the festival is the focus on the outstanding ensembles and performers from local schools who not only perform on the amphitheater stage, but also in a more intimate setting in the Frances Anderson Center and on the Plaza area above the Edmonds Library.
