2019 Schedule with Brief Commentary
May 26-29, 2019. Norhtwest Folklife Festival. Our hometown festival in Seattle is a fantastic celebration of all: arts, crafts, music, dance, food, performances, ... My girls with lots of help pulled it off again, but no breakfast feast chez Niko this year. A must for art/music/dance lovers.
Jun 15-17, 2019. Edmonds Arts Festival. Another local show for us. Well juried and attended. Good representation of fine arts. Easy for us (live right next to Edmonds) and fun for the girls.
June 5-July 7, 2019. Cherry Creek Arts Festival. Always a pleasure to do this great show in Denver. Supper organization and good attendance. Price booth fee though!
Jul 11-14, 2019. Central Pennsylvania Festival of the Arts. Great show although large and spread out. Super organization that knows how to put a great show and super dinner for the artists--bravo!
Jul 20-21, 2019. Kohler Arts Center. Held in a sleepy town of Sheboygan, WI and held by the Kohler Arts Center (cool building with wild restrooms--must check them out!). This was second year first for us, but this time with serious weather problems--booths destroyed!
Aug 2-4, 2019. Crested Butte Arts Festival. Wonderful art festival up in the gorgeous mountains of Colorado. Food for the artist, appreciative crowd. Well done!
Aug 9-11, 2019. Sun Valley Arts and Crafts Festival. Back again this year, and well worth coming back for a third year in a row in recent years. Used to bring the whole family and camp at the lakes--lots of history and fun with this show. Super sales and an incredible artists' breakfast. Art with the new organization did well this year.
Aug 24-25, 2019. Palo Alto Festival of the Arts. On University Avenue in downtown Palo Alto (great restaurants!). Super variety of great artists. We have done this show for many, many years and will continue to do so.
Aug 30-Sep 1, 2019 .Longs Park Arts Festival. Came back for a fourth year in a row and loved it again: beautifully located in a gorgeous park, good crowd, good sales, and hosted by a patron. But the way they treat the artists is remarkable: food galore (two scrumptious dinners, super breakfast) and willing volunteers--all promoters should learn from these folks! Great show despite the funny poles sticking inside your booth!
Sep 14-15, 2019. Mill Valley Fall Arts Festival. Nestled in the woods the atmosphere is as though one is camping in the forest. Don't forget to bring the shims and watering can! The library book sale is always a hit for us.
Oct 19-20, 2019. Half Moon Bay Pumpkin Festival. Best pumpkin pies, hands down. We have done this show also for many years and will continue to do so. More and more large beer crowd in recent years however. It takes two hours to get out of town!
