KidsQuest Children's Museum, 1116 108th Ave NE

The Thursday farmers market is the last of the regular season. Thursday morning, before the stalls, is preschool storytime.
Thursday morning
Preschool Story Time
Thu Oct 1 · 10:30–11:15 a.m.
Bellevue Library, third-floor programming space, 1111 110th Ave NE
Stories, music, movement, and rhymes for ages 3 to 5 with an adult. A short play time follows. No registration. Thursday hours are 10:00 a.m.–6:00 p.m., so this ends well before the market opens at 3:00.
Last Thursday market
Bellevue Farmers Market
Thu Oct 1 · 3:00–7:00 p.m.
1717 Bellevue Way NE
Last day of the Thursday season. The market has posted two later Saturdays: a harvest market in October with the date still to be set, and a holiday market on Saturday, Nov 21, both 10:00 a.m.–3:00 p.m. Neither of those is this week.
Saturday at the farm
Kelsey Creek Farm Fair
Sat Oct 3 · 11:00 a.m.–4:00 p.m.
Kelsey Creek Farm, 410 130th Pl SE
The 44th annual Farm Fair. The city lists animal interactions, heritage activities, pedal tractors, a pumpkin patch, pony rides, wagon rides, and food trucks. Admission, parking, and the shuttle are free. Pony rides, pumpkins, the harvest play patch, wagon rides, and food have fees. No ATM on site. Pets are not allowed in the barnyard or on the shuttle buses.
On-site parking is limited to accessible spaces. Free shuttles run from Bannerwood Sports Park, 1790 Richards Road, and the Wilburton Park and Ride, 720 114th Ave SE. The last shuttle leaves the farm at 4:15 p.m. East Main light rail is the other option. Call the farm at 425-452-7688.
Volunteers 15 and older can still email Stacy Stenslie at sstenslie@bellevuewa.gov. That is a work shift, not a kids’ program.
Night out
No family matinee is posted at Meydenbauer for this Monday–Sunday span. The Moon Festival Melody concert was Sunday, Sep 27. If you want downtown after the farm, Lincoln Square is the dinner stop. Din Tai Fung’s hours are on the restaurant page, not a special tied to the fair.
