Saturday market, a sidewalk sale, and opening night
Saturday stacks the museum market with a downtown sidewalk sale. Friday night, Driftwood Players open the season.
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.
The underwater park is off this beach. Divers are common. Stay on the sand with kids.

About 2 hours, including a 15-minute intermission. Driftwood says the show has some mild adult themes and is best for teens and up. Mainstage tickets are $31 or $28, plus a $3 fee per ticket. TeenTix is $5. The lobby opens one hour before curtain.
Museum hours
Cascadia Art Museum is open Wednesday through Sunday, 11:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m., at 190 Sunset Ave S. Adults $15, seniors 65+ $10, and youth 18 and under and students free. The next exhibition, Zoë Dusanne: The Art of Seeing, opens Wed Sep 23, so it is not up yet this week.

Music in the Museum is that evening at Cascadia. Write on the Sound, the city’s writers’ conference, is Oct 2–4 at the Frances Anderson Center, with an online pre-conference on Sep 26.
