Choochokam Arts Festival

Choochokam: Langley's celebration of our rich art history!

July 12-13, 2008, are the dates for the 33rd annual Choochokam Arts festival in downtown Langley.

Come enjoy the community celebration of Whidbey Island's rich arts heritage. The picturesque streets of downtown Langley are lined with 100 premier artists. The air is filled with the sounds from four separate stages, each with its own flavor.

• Meet and converse with Puget Sound artists who work in all mediums. Purchase art directly from its creator.

• Listen and dance to the music of some of the hottest up-and-coming new performers in the region.

• Join us in celebration at our Saturday night Street Dance, a community tradition for decades.

• Bring your children to our Children's Arts Area, a great place to immerse future artists in hands-on projects.

In 2007, the nonprofit organization, Choochokam Arts, was created with a mission to create an organization that reflects the richness of Langley's artistic community and encourages participation in this local celebration.
