Welcome to PAFE
We are a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to providing a fun and educational experience for young performers in the Greater Eastside areas of metropolitan Seattle in Washington state since 1986. Our festival is held the week after Easter at St. Andrew's Lutheran Church, 2850 148th Ave. SE, Bellevue.
The 2019 Festival Enrollments Open on February 1, 2019
Enrollments for the 32nd year of the PAFE Festival will begin on February 1st and will end when your division is full, or at the very latest, March 4th. Students, your teacher must be a member of the PAFE Teachers Program before you can enroll. If you were in Festival 2018, you can sign into your account and make sure your or your family's information is current.

New PAFE Teachers Program
Last season, we were unable to help the teachers get information and participate in the process. We have invested in building the PAFE Teachers Program just to help get teachers the information they need. We will be able to send email notices both individually and to the group, which we were not able to do last year. However, all music teachers who have students who want to participate in Festival 2019 must be part of the PAFE Teachers Program. Your students will not be able to enroll until their teacher is a member.
See PAFE Teacher Program for more information.

The 2018 Festival was our 31st Season
A group of people that included Barbara and Stanley Miller, and Edgar and Verna Borup, presented the Eastside Music Festival in 1986. In 1987, the same group of people, along with Richard Engstrom, established PAFE and presented the first Performing Arts Festival of the Eastside. Those same people led the board of directors for many years.
The PAFE Festival is a fun place to make music and to hear music. As a performer, it is a safe place to test your abilities as a musician, and to meet others who are just as passionate as you about music. The Concerts are a great place to hear great music, and for the First Place winners to be heard in a public concert. Feel free to bring your friends, and also bring non-perishable food as a donation to the Food Bank.
