The Kirkland Events Foundation is proud to announce EvergreenHealth will once again serve as a sponsor and supporter of Kirkland Summerfest in 2013.

As a Platinum Sponsor of Kirkland’s largest summer festival of music, art, food and culture, EvergreenHealth plays a key role through this sponsorship – and in the health and well-being of our community all year long. Kirkland Summerfest, a production of the Kirkland Events Foundation, takes place August 9, 10, and 11 in downtown Kirkland and features an entire weekend of family fun. Admission to Summerfest is free.

This year, EvergreenHealth is sponsoring Kidzone and the Health & Fitness Program at Summerfest. Kidzone will feature entertainment, physical theater and variety acts, as well as games, rides, education and fun for the whole family. The Health & Fitness Program, titled To Your Health!, will feature education and activities for kids and families alike.

Because of such valued partners like EvergreenHealth, Summerfest is able to provide the community with a weekend-long music and arts festival filled with more than 50 performances on four stages, family entertainment, art and education in Kirkland’s beautiful downtown and Marina Park. Kirkland Summerfest is a Seafair Sanctioned Community Event.
