Galaxy Donuts
Small and mighty, these mini donuts are just what you need to start your festival experience off right. With over thirty flavors and varieties, they have something for every taste.

Curb Jumper Street Eats
Gourmet sliders and specialty sandwiches served out of a sleek and stylish truck sure shake up your comfort food. Pro tip: after the lunch rush, swing back around to Curb Jumper and beat the heat with some ice cream. They serve Gelatiamo Gelato and Fat Boy Ice Cream Sandwiches.

The Caveman Food Truck
When a food truck describes their offerings by saying “We do meat on a stick!” and then continues with “Made fresh with locally sourced products,” how can you not give them a try? Surprisingly, the Caveman Food Truck also has one of the most mouthwatering vegetarian options too, with slow roasted veggies (also on a stick!).

It’s BAO Time
An homage to the original Taiwanese night market foods, it’s BAO Time brings authentic street food from the streets of Taipei to Shoreline. Pick up a BAO (Taiwanese steamed bun sliders with a variety of fillings) and then wander the festival with your tasty treat.

Athena’s Food Truck

Come grab a bite and then take it to see one of the performers on the Showmobile Outdoor Stage.

Bomba Fusion
You don’t hear the phrase “Korean-Mexican Fusion” too often, but you should because it’s fantastic! Serving Bibimbap burritos and tacos, this truck has vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options, proving you can be adventurous and satisfy your dietary restrictions. Get into the spirit by grabbing some Bibimbap and checking out the Explore Korea! Cultural Room.

Ma and Pa Kettle Corn
It’s just not a festival without a bag of hot Kettle Corn to munch on as you shop your way through the Artist Marketplace. Grab a bag and head into the sea of white tents to find your next treasured artwork. 10 points if you can make it to the other end with popcorn still in your bag!

Sue Ellen’s oil paintings and drawings are a reflection of what she sees and experiences.

Joy

She says, “They are also a way for me to practice my skills as an artist and gain knowledge about different types of art. I enjoy the freedom of changing something to what I want it to look like, and to the style that expresses a mood.”

Former Director of the Shoreline - Lake Forest Park Arts Council Fred Wong said this about her work: "She tells her stories not as a sequence of events, but as eddies pouring from her imagination. At her most successful, she takes the styles and techniques she’s learned, and bends them to tell her stories. She paints to shape her life, and all the elements into a beautiful whole."

 Take pART in Your Community: Volunteer for the Shoreline Arts Festival

The Arts Council is still looking for volunteers to help at the Shoreline Arts Festival on June 25 and 26.

Join the veritable army of volunteers who make this celebration of the arts possible and get a glimpse “backstage” as we entertain 10,000+ art-loving community members over two days.

Volunteers are needed for a wide range of tasks, with shifts ranging from two hours to all-day, so there’s something for every skill level and any amount of availability. Sign up now on VolunteerSpot.

Here are some examples of just a few of the volunteer jobs available:
  • Help artists move art and set up booths
  • Organize and hang art
  • Set up the Hands-On Art stations and/or make art with kids
  • Info Booth Attendant: Greet festival-goers and help them find their favorite attractions
  • Juried and Youth Art Room Sitter: Enjoy the art while making sure nothing grows legs and walks away
Volunteers are needed to make sure the art doesn't walk away
