Things To Do

There is no place like Kirkland in the fall! The vivid colors of the turning leaves reflect off the waters of Lake Washington, amplifying those gorgeous autumnal hues to their best advantage. Boasting a population of about 90,000, Kirkland offers a unique amalgamation of urban and rural, with everything from high-end boutique shopping to rugged hiking trails. The City boasts a vast array of waterfront adventures and a splendid collection of public art, including one of our latest installations, “Dandelions,” by Polish artist Mirek Struzik. Located at Village at Totem Lake – one of Kirkland’s newest emerging shopping districts – these beautiful dandelions put Kirkland on the map as one of only a few places around the world with permanent art installments by the world renowned artist. Kirkland is best known for its love of history, its friendly, welcoming vibe and its stunning beauty.

We are home of the famous Kirkland Oktoberfest celebration, which takes place towards the end of September in showstopping Marina Park, bringing the very best München-style Oktoberfest Biergarten to our residents and guests. Marina Park is the City’s front doorstep, alive with glorious sunsets, lakefront views and talented buskers. For a one-of-a-kind evening stop by Kirkland Urban, a veritable mecca of fun things to do and delicious things to eat! You can experience high-tech entertainment at Lounge by Topgolf, Topgolf’s first ever Lounge model with digital golf and other sports – including Zombie Dodgeball – and an elevated menu with food to die for! If you’re more traditional, grab a bite at Vinason Pho & Grill and a delicious craft brew from Chainline Brewing, and then head downstairs to ryan james fine arts to see the latest exhibit.
