Join us in August 2026 for the inaugural Aire Craft Festival—an unforgettable celebration of free flight, street arts, and outdoor culture in the heart of the Issaquah Alps. Co-produced by Culture Tug and Clown Garage, and in partnership with Visit Issaquah, Northwest Paragliding, and the City of Issaquah, Aire Craft arrives in Downtown Issaquah as a first-of-its-kind festival in North America.
Over four days, the Issaquah Community Center and the neighboring Rainier Trail will transform into a vibrant, open-air stage, creating a dynamic festival center where live performances, circus arts, family art activities, and interactive experiences blur the lines between street and sky.
Experience world-class performances, hands-on activities, outdoor film, and cultural conversations —culminating in a breathtaking Sky Parade of costumed paragliders soaring from Tiger Mountain into the city below. You won’t want to miss Aire Craft!
