Celebrating 16 years, The Shoreline-Lake Forest Park Arts Council’s Shoreline Arts Festival brings together a weekend of art, music, film, dance and food experiences at the Shoreline Center Saturday, June 24 and Sunday, June 25.
Creative opportunities abound at this all-ages interactive arts festival, including two stages of entertainment featuring music and dance, including lessons for the whole family, hands-on art activities, the 8th annual Philippine Festival, Lake2Sound Film Festival and the Lego Room.
Music highlights this year include Terry Lauber and Dick Foley (formerly of the Brothers Four) at 4:30 p.m. Saturday, and award-winning Mill Creek songwriter Kellee Bradley and her band at 1 p.m. Sunday.
The world of dance will be represented by acts including Seattle tango dancers Michelle Badion and Evan Wallace at 6:30 p.m. Saturday and Kalalaya, an east Indian dance troupe specializing in the ancient dance art of Bharatha Natyam and Carnatic music.
Martial arts will be demonstrated throughout the weekend in the Shoreline Center Gym, with aikido, karate, tae kwon do and judo represented by local martial arts schools. The Shoreline Philippine Festival, Experience India and Korean Cultural Rooms will present cultural displays, and the Lake2Sound Film Festival will be debuting the works of professional and student filmmakers.
