Sawtooth Festival 2027

The Sawtooth Festival for Arts, Crafts and Food is a two-day, family-friendly summer festival in Stanley, Idaho, bringing regional makers, food vendors, culture, and live entertainment together in the Sawtooth Valley. The 2027 edition is scheduled for July 17–18 at 325 Eva Falls Avenue.

Dates and hours

The official festival site lists Saturday, July 17, 2027, from 9:00 a.m.–6:00 p.m. and Sunday, July 18, from 9:00 a.m.–3:00 p.m. Vendor applications are already open, while the public vendor lineup is still marked “coming soon.”

What to expect

The emphasis is on arts, handmade crafts, food, and regional culture, rather than a large concert-style festival. Previous editions have featured more than 75 regional vendors alongside live music and Stanley’s small-town setting; the festival’s own 2027 information confirms that the forthcoming vendor roster remains in development.

Community purpose

Sawtooth Festival was established in 2021 and operates as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit run locally by volunteers. Its mission is to promote Stanley’s business and nonprofit community through arts, crafts, and food, with festival proceeds supporting grants to Sawtooth Valley nonprofits and community organizations.

Visitor essentials

The festival lists no pets, no smoking or vaping outside designated areas, and no outside food or beverages. It also warns that Wi-Fi and banking are not available at the festival, making it sensible to arrive prepared for limited connectivity in Stanley.
