Bellevue Arts Fair Weekend returns July 24–26, bringing more than 350 visual artists to downtown Bellevue across two venues and 15+ artistic mediums. The event is co-produced by Bellevue Arts Museum (BAM) and the Bellevue Downtown Association and is expected to draw 150,000 visitors.
Two new elements debut this year. Living Traditions, a curated cultural exhibition series, launches with its first exhibition — “Japanese Art and Resilience in the Pacific Northwest” — exploring Japanese artistic traditions and community stories across generations. The weekend also introduces a dedicated mobile app providing visitors access to artist directories, entertainment listings, demonstrations, food vendors, and interactive maps.
Evening programming has expanded to include the Sixth Street Sessions dinner concert series, a ticketed rooftop concert at BAM Rooftop Rhythms featuring live music, food, cocktails, and dancing, and the return of Fashion Friday, an after-hours event highlighting Pacific Northwest creatives in fashion, music, and visual storytelling.
Free family programming includes hands-on crafts, BrickCon activities, and interactive art experiences.
