FREE ADMISSION
Join us for the 25th Annual San Juan Island Lavender Festival, Saturday, July 18 – Sunday, July 19! Stroll, relax, and capture photos among the lavender fields at Alchemy’s Field Campus. Discover our non-profit community art center, create with our instructors and Artists-in-Residence, and shop handcrafted lavender products and artwork from over 50 local artists in the new Alchemy Store.
Visit the Cutting Field and take home plants for your garden or harvest fresh bouquets from our many varieties in bloom. Experience all-day hands-on activities for all ages in the Craft Tent. Enjoy wandering circus performers, free activities like face painting, and our collaborative community eel grass mural project. We also feature a full lineup of live music all weekend.
Local food vendors will serve a variety of options, including Lopez Island Creamery ice cream. Support community arts programming by purchasing adult libations by the music stage. Relax during mini-sessions with our massage therapists, and browse work from local artists and craftspeople throughout the fields.
Admission is free. The festival runs from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. both days, with live music and cocktails, beer, and wine on Saturday night until 9 p.m. The lavender fun continues all summer—don’t forget your camera! Leashed dogs are welcome.
