Starting out as a small community art fair, the Edmonds Arts Festival is now an institution in the Pacific Northwest, bringing in funky creatives from across the nation. Take a quick trip up to Edmonds for the juried art exhibitions and sales, plus kids' activities and jazz and orchestral performances. It's super easy to make a day of it—the outdoor festival overlooks scenic Puget Sound, so grab an ice cream cone from one of the treat vendors on site (or delectable pockets of dough from Kaleenka Piroshky) and take a stroll once you're done perusing the art.
