The annual "Arts in Nature" festival is back again this weekend at Camp Long (35th Ave SW and SW Dawson) with a wide array of art, music, art installations and activities in the beautiful setting of Seattle's only campground. Produced by the Delridge Neighborhoods Development Association (in association with the Nature Consortium and Seattle Parks and Recreation) the event will run from Saturday Aug. 26 at 11am to 9pm through Sunday from 11am to 6pm.
You can purchase tickets for the event here.
Unlike Any Other Festival the “arts in nature” concept encourages artists and audience members to engage in active participation with each other and with the natural 68-acre landscape of Camp Long.
You’ll find multiple intimate but spectacular outdoor performance stages, over 40 performances ranging from jazz, classical, indie rock, bluegrass, contemporary dance, and spoken word. The “Museum of Sound” is displayed through eight rustic cabins, hands-on art and nature activities, and winding hiking trails through the great outdoors. You can even create your own works of art by participating in multiple art activities, writing workshops and open mics, juggling, costumed hikes through the forest, and naturalist events!
This year, Arts in Nature is particularly excited to feature Seattle’s own Clinton Fearon and the Boogie Brown Band, known for bringing exciting reggae beats to wider audiences. Other artists include West African musician and Griot storyteller Naby Camera, rumba musicians Cocotazo, and a scavenger hunt installation by Melanie Reed, plus many more!
A convoy of food trucks including GAI BOX, PICNIC, POP UP keeps you energized for art-making, dancing, and nature trail exploration.
Kids under five get in free!
