Hello Kirkland Community!

It’s almost time for Kirkland Summerfest to be held on Aug. 7 and 8, in downtown Kirkland.

This is our largest community festival and it’s free to everyone. We need your support in order to make it a fun event for everyone in Kirkland.

The cost of putting on this event (done by volunteers) is approximately $100,000 and includes signage, security, permits, entertainment, kid’s rides, etc. Your help is needed to fund this event and would be greatly appreciated. We ask that you either donate money to help pay for the many venues, events, performers and stages or a gift card that could be used for things like ice, zip ties, lumber, and many other supplies we need to purchase. Please contact me and I will pick up gift cards.

For donations of $100 and more we will put your name or that of your business on a “thank you” banner to be placed on the wall of Hallmark Realty the week before Summerfest so the whole community can acknowledge your contribution. Every donation, large or small, is greatly appreciated.

Thank you for being generous and supporting this great community event.

To donate: go to Kirklandsummerfest.com, then ‘Support’ then scroll down to ‘Community Giving.’

If you’d like to volunteer or have a question please contact: Sue Contreras at scon1965@hotmail.com or call (425) 827-6870.

Scott Becker is one of the organizers for Kirkland Summerfest.
