Celebrate the Arts Party
Wednesday, June 17th | Frances Anderson Center Plaza, Edmonds
Kick off the Edmonds Arts Festival with a night of live music, gourmet bites, stunning artwork—and community spirit. All proceeds directly support arts education, scholarships, and public art in Edmonds.
First Look Experience | 6:00 – 7:00 PM
Begin the evening with an elevated, relaxed start to festival weekend. In addition to everything included with General Admission tickets, enjoy:
- Early access to the galleries before general admission opens, providing a smaller, uncrowded experience to view and purchase art at an easy pace
- A celebratory welcome drink and festive touches that set the tone for the night served in a take-home commemorative glass
- Extra time to enjoy food, galleries, and conversation before the crowds arrive
General Admission | 7:00 – 10:00 PM
Evening access to Festival galleries. Enjoy:
- Gallery access until 8:30 PM—browse and buy your favorite pieces
- A lively, welcoming atmosphere to celebrate the start of the Festival
- A generous spread of gourmet appetizers
- Two drink tickets included with admission
- Live music from the Dogtones
- Create with us! Co-create a live community masterpiece with artist Jesse Reno, presented by Art Walk Edmonds - add your own creative touch, then bid to take it home!
