Aire Craft Festival

Aire Craft is a four day festival of free flight, street arts, and outdoor culture—where performances unfold across Rainier Trail and the sky above Issaquah becomes part of the stage.

Co-Produced by Culture Tug and Clown Garage, in partnership with Visit Issaquah, Northwest Paragliding, and the City of Issaquah. Aire Craft brings together artists, pilots, and audiences to experience Issaquah in a new way—through movement, imagination, and shared public life.

At the heart of the festival is a simple but powerful idea; to activate our public spaces and skies with live audacious performance, blurring the lines between street and sky, everyday life and performance art.

Inspired by France’s Coupe Icare and Festival Les Rias, and building on the rich cultural & paragliding history of Issaquah, Aire Craft brings together free-flight aviation, street arts, and community for a weekend of high flying creativity and acrobatic stunts at the Issaquah Community Center. A first festival of its kind in the United States.

Aire Craft Festival aligns with the work of the Destination Stewardship Cohort Strategic Plan, which is reimagining how Issaquah grows as a place people don’t just pass through—but travel to, experience, and remember.
