The Catalina Art Association presents the 55th Annual Catalina Festival of Art, September 20,21,22, 2013, one of the longest running and most acclaimed art festivals in California. Join us for this World Class Art Event featuring a Kids Art Show and Annual Charity Art Auction.
Catalina is an island so it does require planning to participate in our show. 10x10 popup tents and grid-wall systems are all provided as well as bench seating in most booths. Booths are set up along side the main walking street next to the ocean, which provides amazing views and tranquil breezes. Storage is free and secure.
Local and mainland press cover the show as well as many travel publications. Awards, ribbons and Cash prizes are given by a respected panel of judges as well as thousands of dollars in art supplies given to kids!
The resort island setting attracts high end buyers here on holiday or visiting by cruise ship. For 55 years, this show has been what most venders call a "Working Holiday Show". The locals are extremely helpful, the show organizers are very professional and the show visitors come here to Shop! Applications are available for download here > Festival of Art Application.

Sales Tax: As of July, 2009, the City of Avalon Sales Tax is 9.75%. We recommend that you include it in the price of your items. It is not a well-known fact that festival and outdoors market vendors must charge sales tax and it is too difficult to explain this tax to visitors. Just include it in the price and net it out -- keep a simple journal of your sales for this reason. The CAA is not responsible for keeping any records of your sales and does not collect money or monitor sales activity of its festival vendors.
