So much fun stuff, huh? If you haven’t been to the beautifully remodeled Edmonds Library yet, you’ll be in for a real treat for many of these events. Plan to stick around and explore the refreshed space (it was flooded, the worst possible thing to happen to books!) after your sessions are over, too. 

After you get to know the library, keep the adventure going. There are a ton of wonderful places to eat, drink, and experience all Edmonds has to offer right nearby! Find oodles of resources and ideas on our website here.

The Downtown Edmonds Pride Stride

In addition to all the fun, free events happening around Edmonds in June, the Downtown Business Improvement District (otherwise known as Ed!) is hosting a “Pride Stride” from June 1st until the 22nd during which visitors who purchase $15 or more of merchandise from Downtown Edmonds businesses (restaurants included) will get a stamp on a “Pride Stride” card, available at any participating location. Collect five or more stamps and you’ll be entered into a drawing for a raffle prize!

While Pride Month is a great reason to come to town and support the LGBTQIA+ community simultaneously, we hope you know we’d celebrate your exploring Edmonds anytime—in any and all colors of your choosing and exactly as you are. You are unique and welcome here. Also, keep your eyes peeled for waving flags and rainbow signs in local windows. Those are always around, even when you go home.
