Previously known as the 6th Street Arts Fair, the BDA is an outdoor market of more than 100 regional artists artists – it runs on Saturday and Sunday, near its neighboring show, the Bellevue Arts Museum (BAM) ARTSfair, where some of you may have seen me in the past. Come visit me at booth C40, towards the NE 4th Street end of 6th Avenue, across from the Bellevue Towers.

The 61st annual Festival stretches down Commercial Ave from 10th Street all the way to the Port dock on the Guemes Channel waterfront. Along that route, you’ll get to experience Booth Artisans, Jazz and Main Stages, two Beer and Wine Gardens, Food trucks and vendors, a Kids Discovery Area, Artists Demonstrating their craft, AND Arts at the Port Fine Art Show on the dock. And it’s free…

All West Coast artists, from California to Alaska, including British Columbia and Idaho – This intimate little show is held in Portland, Oregon, and the beautiful Forestry Center – make a day of seeing the artists and walking Forest Park or the Rose Gardens.
