As you may know, we here on Mercer Island celebrate summer with fireworks a week late. I think that lets us get a great deal on them, and as a taxpayer I love that idea. Along with the fireworks are the rest of the Summer Celebration.
What else can I do at the Summer Celebration, you ask?
- Fireworks Celebration
- Grand Parade
- Arts & Craft Vendors
- Food Vendors
- Classic Car Show
- Children’s Fun Zone
- Non-Profit/Community Groups
- Business Sponsors
- Live Entertainment/Music
- Boat Rides on Lake Washington
- Youth 3 on 3 Basketball Tournament
What you can’t do is go to the Farmers’ Market, which is closed this week due to many activities in the above list being right in their normal space:


This was a very enjoyable event.
