Coupeville Arts & Crafts Festival 2026

The Coupeville Arts & Crafts Festival is an outdoor juried show held on Whidbey Island that has been running for over 50 years. The festival features 150+ artisans from the Pacific Northwest and beyond who exhibit and sell handmade crafts. Artists are evaluated on the originality, quality, and marketability of their work. The Coupeville Festival Association does not accept commercially made items or those sold by distributors. All non-operational proceeds from the festival are returned to the Coupeville community through project grants and scholarships.

Artists must submit an online application with a non-refundable $20 application fee and 3 photos between January 15th and March 15th. Late applications submitted after March 15th incur a $35 non-refundable fee. Accepted artists are notified by email on or before April 1st. Booth fees range from $115-$260 depending on booth size and check-in day. A 15% commission on gross sales is collected at the end of the festival. Accepted applicants who cancel prior to July 1st receive a refund of their booth fee minus a 5% administrative fee; no refunds are issued for cancellations after July 1st.

The festival takes place August 8-9, 2026, with optional Friday check-in on August 7th. Booth hours are 10 AM-6 PM Saturday and 10 AM-5 PM Sunday.
