The Poulsbo Arts Festival event is held every year, the third weekend of August.
The Cultural Arts Foundation Northwest's Poulsbo Arts Festival event is becoming the premier event for local musicians to perform their own original music.
It is one, if not the only event locally where all the music is original and composed by the performers.
