The excitement has been building for weeks. Youth artists and professionals have submitted their work, Concerts at the Port are under way and T-shirts and posters are everywhere. Last week, an opening celebration and an Art Dash offered an early peek at fine art shows in the Port Warehouse.
And now it’s finally time for the main event — three days of delightful colors, sounds, tastes and performances that take over downtown during the 47th annual Anacortes Arts Festival this weekend.
The festival seems to grow every year. Expect to see 250 booth artisans, more than 30 musicians at four venues, regional and ethnic foods, fine exhibits at Art at the Port, working artists and youth activities. Except for the Concerts at the Port series, admission is free.
