The 11th annual harvest day, run by the Downtown Issaquah Association. It includes the Fall Farm Fresh Market, the Historically Hip Artisan Market, an apple cider press, scarecrow building, art, photo spots, and live music. Visit Issaquah lists the hours as 9:00 a.m.–2:00 p.m. at the Historic Shell Station.

The association also points people to La Piazza, the parking lot next to Chicago Pastrami, and to other downtown stops. Fischer Meats lists a turkey carving demo at 1:00 p.m. on site that day. An apple-themed food tour of downtown restaurants is posted from Oct 17 through Oct 31. Menus can change.

This is the same morning as the regular fall market. You do not need a second trip for produce.

Village Theatre lists a captioned performance at 2:00 p.m. The market ends at 2:00, so you cannot do the last hour of apples and the opening of the show. The Issaquah run ends Sunday, Oct 18. After that the production moves to Everett, opening Sat Oct 24.

Language and brief violence. About 2 hours 50 minutes with intermission. Not for young children.

Ragtime

No kids’ storytime was on the Issaquah library branch page for this week.
