We want you on our culinary lineup.
Bring your best to the 2026 Festival of the Arts.
The Festival of the Arts is the largest event in Lake Oswego. It brings visitors from across the Pacific Northwest who come ready to explore, eat, and spend the day with us. Food vendors pay one booth fee and keep every dollar they earn. If you want strong foot traffic, long lines, and a crowd that loves good food, come and celebrate the arts with us!
2025 brought heavy rain, reduced programming, and lower attendance. We are planning a full return in 2026 with strong crowds and a robust schedule. This is the year to join us.
Why apply for 2026
• You reach thousands of visitors who show up ready to eat.
• You place your food in front of an audience that values creativity.
• You build visibility through one of Lake Oswego’s signature events.
• You grow your following during a high energy festival weekend.
If your menu shows personality and bold flavor, we want you here.
