Kirkland Urban Sunset Markets + Concert Nights Series 2026

June 18, 2026 4:00 PM – 8:00 PM

The third Thursday from May-August

Sunset Markets + Concert Nights is a vibrant monthly summer series that brings the community together for an evening of local shopping, live music, family activities, and sunset vibes. Held one evening each month from 4–8 PM, the event features a curated open-air market of local makers, artisans, and food vendors paired with live outdoor concerts that set the tone for each unique night.

Guests can browse handcrafted goods, enjoy delicious bites, and relax with friends and family while listening to standout regional bands. Each month’s market is thoughtfully paired with the evening’s musical style—creating a fun, themed atmosphere that celebrates creativity, community, and summer in the Pacific Northwest.

Families will also enjoy a variety of complimentary activities throughout the evening, including balloon twisting, face painting, yard games, a community craft station, a photo booth, sticker machines, the splash pad, bubble fun, cool treats, and the KU Activity Cart – The Busy Bee Hive. While you’re here, be sure to stop by and enter the Lucky Draw for a chance to win prizes from KU retailers.
