Makers Market

Over 25 vendors — including crafts, clothing, home goods/decor and snacks/treats — will be set up outside of the ticketed Taste Edmonds event space at our Makers Market located on the Plaza above Edmonds Library. In the interest of nurturing up-and-coming small businesses and creators, these are all creative vendors who do not have a traditional brick-and-mortar shop. The market will be free of charge and the full vendor lineup will be released soon at www.TasteEdmonds.com.

Community

Taste Edmonds serves as the Edmonds Chamber of Commerce’s largest annual fundraising event, ensuring that other beloved events such as An Edmonds Kind of 4th, The Edmonds Classic Car & Motorcycle Show, and more remain free of charge. Additionally, the chamber shares the love by partnering with several local service organizations for day-of-event support, enabling them to earn funds as well.

Tickets

To cover the cost of producing the event, including paying live bands and performers, infrastructure costs and activities for kids, the event is ticketed for ages 5-plus. Your ticket provides access to the full suite of activities, music and the beer garden; it does not include food or drink.

Tickets are available as one-day passes or weekend (three-day) passes. Online ticket sales will close at noon on Thursday, Aug. 12. Day-of ticket sales will be available during the event at the gate with a slight increase in price. The Edmonds Chamber does not have a box office for in-person ticket sales prior to the event.

Shuttle bus

A shuttle will be running between Edmonds-Woodway High School and the event entrance. Full shuttle schedule coming soon at www.TasteEdmonds.com

Sponsors

Without the support of our sponsors, this event wouldn’t be possible. The Edmonds Chamber would like to thank Puget Sound Energy, Beresford Booth PLLC, Workhorse Coworking, Edmonds Yacht Club, Chiro One Wellness Centers, Doug’s Lynnwood Hyundai and Mazda, and Chermak Construction for getting behind this event. We’d also like to thank all of the Edmonds Chamber members, especially our premium members, for their year-round support that allows us to plan and produce this beloved event!

Sponsorships are still available and are an excellent way to engage with thousands of people in South Snohomish County and beyond. Contact ryan@edmondschamber.com for information.
