The Kirkland Wednesday Market will open for the first time this year from 2-7 p.m. along the downtown’s Park Lane.

Opening ceremonies start at 2 p.m., with the Lake Washington High School choir performing the Star Spangled Banner, Kirkland Mayor Jim Lauinger delivering a welcome speech and King County councilwoman Jane Hague ringing the opening bell.

At 3 p.m., the mayor will host a “Sprouts Story Time,” reading one of his favorite books for the kids. The ceremonies will also include a “plant-a-seed” event, which gives children a chance to plant a seed to take home.

The market will host about 45 vendors.
