Countdown to Kirkland Summerfest: This Week in Kirkland

Every week is a great one to be in Kirkland, but this week everything coming should be seen as an opportunity to pump us up for Kirkland Summerfest, the biggest family three-day party around. (If you haven't signed up to volunteer for just one three-hour shift at the event yet, do it today, lots of community help is needed for this amazing event!)

Tuesday, Aug. 6

• Give crooks the boot by participating in National Night Out Against Crime. The Kirkland Police and Fire Departments will be attending community events between 6 and 9 p.m.  To show support of National Night Out, Kirkland residents are encouraged to get together with neighbors and friends.  Turn your porchlights on, come outside and take a stand against crime with your neighbors. 
• Tuesday's Kirkland Kids Concert features Recess Monkey--another must-see.

• Professional Women's Networking Luncheon. Professional women are invited to gather for connections, collaboration, support, and skills, in nearby Bellevue.

• The Thursday evening Concert in the park is hot Bluegrass band Frank Solivan and Dirty Kitchen.

• Get yourself to Marina Park for all the good stuff at Summerfest--cardboard boat regatta, Shakespeare in the Park, the fish frolic, the Rotary rubber duck race--way too much to describe, so check out your favorite events on the Summerfest website!
