Why you'll love it

An editor's take

It is the single busiest and most joyful weekend of Bellevue's cultural year. You can meet the artists making the work, buy directly from them, and cover a serious cross-section of American contemporary craft in a single afternoon — all outdoors, all walkable.

Highlights

What makes it special

  • Northwest's largest juried outdoor art fair
  • Hundreds of artists nationwide
  • Three linked fair experiences
  • Live music and family art activities
  • Held the last weekend of July

What you'll experience

The visit, in detail

Three linked fairs across a long weekend — the juried ARTSfair, the 6th Street Fair, and BellevueFest — plus live music, food trucks, and family art activities. Plan two to three hours minimum. Insider tip: arrive at opening on Saturday morning to see the strongest booths before crowds peak, and revisit favorites Sunday afternoon when artists are often more willing to negotiate.
