Second Sea Glass Festival for 2024

The International Sea Glass Association Board is pleased to announce that we will be hosting a second Sea Glass Festival in 2024! We invite you to join us at Seattle Center Fisher Pavilion in Seattle, Washington, on August 10–11, 2024. This festival is in addition to the festival in Mystic, Connecticut, on July 27–28, 2024.

We plan on bringing all the excitement of an ISGA festival to a new location, with talented vendors, expert speakers, veteran collectors, and the Sea Glass Contest. Seattle is the perfect location for a sea glass festival — a beautiful city with a lively arts scene, nearby beaches, and access to all the Pacific Northwest has to offer within a few hours.
