The first fair is outdoors on August 19th from 9 to 5 pm. It’s the 31st Uptown Street Fair in Port Townsend’s uptown district on Lawrence and Tyler Streets. There will be a funky parade, Arts and Crafts Fair, Farmers Market, live music, children’s art activities, food and more!

Next is the 52nd Crafts by the Dock Fair held on September 9th and 10th in downtown Port Townsend’s waterfront, one block from the Wooden Boat Festival. There will be boats, music all over and 55 arts booths near City Hall and on the Pope Marine Plaza. This well attended fair is fun for all and the boats are gorgeous!

The 31 st Holiday Arts and Crafts Fair will be on all 3 floors of the Port Townsend Community Center at Lawrence and Tyler streets uptown.
