Sounds & Sunsets at Kirkland Urban: A Recap of the First Concert and Sunset Market
Kirkland Urban was bustling with the sweet sounds of summer and the vibrant energy of local makers! Tuesday evening, Roeman and the Whereabouts kicked off our Summer Sounds Concert Series with a soulful set full of retro pop hits. The crowd danced, beat the heat under covered tents, and sang along to their favorite songs.
On Thursday evening, the plaza transformed once again for the first Sunset Market of the summer. In partnership with Northwest Marketplaces, over 25+ local crafters and vendors filled the Kirkland Urban pathways, offering a wide variety of handmade goods, delicious bites, and local charm. A live DJ kept the vibe going, while families, friends, and pups strolled through the market enjoying golden hour perfection.
