You will be able to experience the true spirit of Edmonds with a waterfront festival that includes live entertainment, local artisans selling their work, local food, kids’ fun activities, local organizations and associations, and the beautiful view of Puget Sound. This beloved festival has become a great meeting ground for residents and visitors who gather to celebrate the natural beauty and culture of Edmonds.
The Edmonds Waterfront Festival is a tradition in our community. The festival brings people together to celebrate what makes Edmonds so special. The festival takes place along the beautiful shore of Puget Sound. It is here that we show off the best of local talent, regional businesses, and family friendly activities as well as give everyone the opportunity to see some amazing waterfront experiences. No matter if it is live performance, looking through artisan vendor booths, trying local foods, or just enjoying the views of the marina; each visit offers something different for guests of all ages. Our festival is built on the pride of our community, the volunteerism of our citizens, and the welcoming spirit that has made Edmonds one of Washington's favorite waterfront communities.
Live performances are provided by many talented local musicians, community groups, and other talented entertainers during the entire length of the festival, which creates an exciting atmosphere along the waterfront.
Guests will be able to browse through handmade artwork, jewelry, home decor, photography, woodwork, pottery and many other creative items created by talented local artisans and makers.
Guests will be able to sample a wide variety of their favorite festival foods including fresh seafood, BBQ, sweet treats, coffee and many other local specialty foods sold by vendors in the surrounding region.
Guests will be able to take a tour of many vintage cars, restored classic cars, and custom cars displayed by car owners who are truly passionate about restoring and preserving these automotive treasures.
Kids and their families will be able to participate in games, interactive activities, art projects, and entertainment designed to create wonderful memories for them.
Guests will be treated to incredible views of Puget Sound, the Edmonds Marina, the Washington State Ferries, and the Olympic Mountains while they take part in the festival.
