Allied Arts of Whatcom County is thrilled to present the 47th Annual Holiday Festival of the Arts, the longest running holiday market in Whatcom County. We host nearly one hundred artists for five weeks, and have music and children's art workshops on weekends!

The two-fold purpose of our festivals is to encourage and support the creation and sale of locally produced fine art and craft while providing an opportunity to connect artists and craftspeople with the general public.

The Festival opens on November 20th and runs until Christmas Eve! We're open seven days a week from 10 am to 6 pm. Closed for Thanksgiving, and we close early at 3 pm on Christmas Eve.

We are excited to be back in Downtown Bellingham this year at 1400 Cornwall Ave, in the old Rite Aid building!

Starts: November 20, 2026

Occurs: Every day until December 24, 2026

Time: 10 a.m. - 6 p.m.

We acknowledge that Whatcom County is located on the unceded territory of the Coast Salish Peoples. They cared for the lands that included what we’d call the Puget Sound region, Vancouver Island and British Columbia since time immemorial. This gives us the great obligation and opportunity to learn how to care for our surrounding areas and all the natural and human resources we require to live. We express our deepest respect and gratitude for our indigenous neighbors, the Lummi Nation and Nooksack Tribe, for their enduring care and protection of our shared lands and waterways.
