What has become the Edmonds Chamber of Commerce’s largest annual fundraising event of the year started in 1982 as a one-day event with five food tents. This decades-long friendly affair is more of a taste of the town than it is a food event, although great food is always in attendance. Taste is a celebration of the city where you may just run into your dentist wearing flip-flops, your kids’ teacher in a tank top, and find yourself bumping cups with your neighbor in the beer garden.  

And, while Taste Edmonds is a community celebration at its core, its proceeds also support the production of beloved city events, including An Edmonds Kind of 4th, the Edmonds Classic Car & Motorcycle Show, Halloween Trick-or-Treating, the Tree Lighting Ceremony, and more, allowing them to remain free of charge.

The annual three-day event pulls together the best of Edmonds and the surrounding communities have to offer in music, makers, food, and fun to throw the celebration of the summer. Think of Taste as a long weekend block party with a cause. On top of the festivities that support all things Edmonds, the Chamber shares the love by partnering with several local service organizations for day-of-event support, enabling them to earn funds as well.
