On June 19, at 9 a.m., the Edmonds Historical Museum is thrilled to be opening another amazing season of the summer market. For more than 27 years, the Edmonds Historical Museum has brought this market to the downtown Edmonds community. Last year, due to COVID restrictions, we had to shrink the market to about half the usual size. But this season we are thrilled to be able to host over 90 vendors every week, almost as many as two years ago.
Though some COVID restrictions remain in place at the market, many have been relaxed under the Governor’s Orders. Starting this Saturday, shoppers who are fully vaccinated will not be required to wear masks. We will continue to post signs encouraging shoppers to mask-up and social distance but will no longer mandate masks wearing from every shopper. The market will still have a main entrance by the Historical Museum, but shoppers will also be able to enter from 5th or 6th and Bell.

On Saturday, May 1, promptly at 9 a.m., the Edmonds Historical Museum will open yet another season of the Garden Market. We will be opening under COVID restrictions, but returning to Bell Street as we were in 2019. The main entrance will be on Bell and 5th, near the Log Cabin and the main exit will be on the other side of Centennial Plaza.
We do not anticipate long lines this season due to the new guidelines set by the Washington State Health Department, which will allow more customers into the market at a time. One thing that has not changed from last season: All customers and vendors will be required to wear masks while attending the market and are asked to monitor their social distance. Signs will be posted throughout the market to remind us all to keep 6 feet apart when possible.
