Saturday downtown

Edmonds Museum Summer Market

Sat Sep 19 · 9:00 a.m.–2:00 p.m.

118 5th Ave N, in front of the Edmonds Historical Museum

The Edmonds Historical Museum hosts this street market on Saturdays from May through October. About 90 vendors. The museum says each one is a family-owned business, and that farmers grow or raise what they bring. Produce, crafts, art, and food.

Rain or shine is the usual pattern for this market. Two Saturdays remain in September after this one, and the season continues into October.

Edmonds Brouhaha sidewalk sale

Sat Sep 19 and Sun Sep 20

Downtown Edmonds sidewalks

The Edmonds Downtown Alliance calls this the Brouhaha Backroom Blowout: past-season discounts from nearly 20 local shops. Named stops include Walnut Street Coffee, Molly Moon Ice Cream, Musicology Co, and The Wooden Spoon, plus galleries and gift shops.

Explore Edmonds lists Saturday as 10:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m. The alliance says to check each store for hours, including Sunday. Do the market on 5th in the morning, then walk the sale.

Beach after the market

Brackett’s Landing is the beach at the end of Main Street, next to the ferry terminal. No program is posted for this week. It is the short walk if the sidewalk sale is enough shopping.
