A Whatcom County holiday tradition

for 47 years!

The Holiday Festival of the Arts is an indoor, 5 week-long festival featuring over 100 artisans from our region. In addition to vendors, the festival boasts live music, workshops for children and artists demonstrating their craft.


The two-fold purpose of our festivals is to encourage and support the creation and sale of locally produced fine art and craft while providing an opportunity to connect artists and craftspeople with the general public.
