Sawdust Art Festival 2004
More than 175 local artists invite visitors to stroll along sawdust-covered paths through a village of fine arts and superb crafts. Since 1966 this event has drawn visitors from around the world who are looking for one-of-a-kind artwork, including paintings, jewelry, ceramics, photographs, sculptures, hand-blown glass and more. Varied demonstrations including glass blowing, complimentary art workshops, children's art activities, refreshments and live entertainment make this a memorable event. Visitors may participate in 'hands on' mini classes with artists and watch demonstrations as artists share their experiences. The grounds of the festival are landscaped with lush plants and a waterfall. There is plenty of shade to for a hot day there, and if you get tired of arts and crafts, there are also live musicians, entertaining visitors with everything from Hawaiian to bluegrass and reggae music. Magicians and jugglers also roam the grounds entertaining young and old alike. An accessible bathroom is available on the grounds, but it is not a unisex restroom. There’s no reason to go hungry at the Sawdust Festival. The Sawdust Art Festival offers a good choice of everything from burgers to fish and chips, along with ethnic foods, sodas, and ice cream. The event is held throughout July and August from 10AM-10PM daily. Admission $6.50, Seniors $5.50, $2.00 for children ages 6 to 12. Season pass is $12.00. Annual pass is $16.00.
