Special Sections - WHIDBEY XTRA July 8 2015

By KATE DANIEL Staff reporter

The Village by the Sea will pres-ent a smorgasbord of artistic delica-cies as Choochokam Arts Festival returns for its 40th year.

The scents of food vendors’ goods will mingle with the salty sea breeze as lively melodies waft through the streets and thousands make their way into the heart of Langley to peruse over 80 artists’ works.

This year’s festival will take place July 11-12. Admission is free.

“I just like it. I think the whole thing is fun,” said Bruce Allen, who serves on the Langley City Council and the Choochokam Board of Directors.

Allen said he has enjoyed attend-ing the festival for several years.

The Choochokam Arts Foundation, a nonprofit organiza-tion founded in 2013, operates inde-pendently in Langley.

The foundation’s mission, according to the Langley Chamber of Commerce website, is to cre-ate an organization which “reflects and perpetuates the richness of Langley’s artistic community.”

Each year, 15,000 to 20,000 peo-ple gather in the small and heartily creative town for a festival that acts as the foundation of the organiza-tion’s mission.

This year’s event will include all of the traditional highlights, as well as an amplified music experience,

according to Allen. Vicci Martinez, a singer and

songwriter from Tacoma who placed third on “The Voice” in 2011, will perform for the Saturday Night Street Dance. No shoes are required for this crowd-favorite event.

Altogether, there will be approxi-mately 15 bands performing, includ-ing LeRoy Bell and Ranger and the

Re-Arrangers. Children can stop by the Kid

Zone for arts and crafts, STOMP fun, drumming circles and face painting. The Kid Zone will be locat-ed in the Porter Building parking lot at the corner of Anthes Avenue and Third Street.

A wine and beer garden will pro-vide attendees age 21 and older

with locally-sourced refreshments from Diamond Knot Brewery and Whidbey Island Premium Wines, while an assortment of food vendors will provide an array of delicacies.

Artworks ranging from jewelry to paintings, yard decor to henna tat-toos can also be purchased directly from their creators at any of the vendor booths.

Golf carts will be available for individuals in need of assistance from parking to the center of town.

There will also be a free shuttle running all day from the Clinton ferry dock to Langley and back for those walking onto the ferry from Mukilteo.
