Wintertide Festival of Lights is the Port Angeles Fine Arts Center's annual year-end event, held in the evening. It combines a local artisan Makers Market featuring 30 vendors, art and activity stations, food vendors, a beer garden, interactive light installations, illuminated wooded trails, live performers, and glow-in-the-dark experiences. The evening format is worth planning for — vendors will need their own booth lighting and a setup that works after dark, and the light-installation setting means ambient light will be low and colored. Note: You must contact this organizer directly to apply—no application link or vendor information is available online.
