Aug. 9-11
Featuring live music, food, beer and wine, family activities, makers market, cornhole tournament
What has become the Edmonds Chamber of Commerce’s largest annual fundraising event of the year started in 1982 as a one-day event with five food tents. This decades-long friendly affair is more of a taste of the town than it is a food event, although great food is always in attendance.
And, while Taste Edmonds is a community celebration at its core, its proceeds also support the production of beloved city events, including An Edmonds Kind of 4th, the Edmonds Classic Car & Motorcycle Show, Halloween Trick-or-Treating, the Tree Lighting Ceremony, and more, allowing them to remain free of charge.
The annual three-day event pulls together the best that Edmonds and the surrounding communities have to offer in music, makers, food and fun to throw the celebration of the summer. As the Edmonds Chamber says: Think of Taste as a long weekend block party with a cause.
