The Edmonds Chamber of Commerce has announced the final schedule for An Edmonds Kind of Fourth of July.
The 2024 Beat Brackett 5K and 1K will return with a route from City Park in Edmonds into the Town of Woodway, and the final deadline to register for the run is Thursday, June 27. You can register here.
The 2024 Fourth of July festivities will include parade entries that embody the creative and festive spirit of Edmonds, and will include some food options to help offset all the restaurants that close for the Fourth. Food and treat options will be located on 5th Avenue North between Main Street and Bell. Big Dogs will be offering their gourmet hot dogs, MoMo’s Kebabs will feature gyros, kebabs and Greek fries, Goodbelly will have their hot and fresh malasadas (Hawaiian donuts), Mother Hen’s will serve barbecue and soul food, Sweet Wheels will serve ice cream sandwiches and Kool Kidz Ice Cream will be offering up ice cold treats.
The 2024 Edmonds Fourth of July Parade Grand Marshal is Teresa Wippel of My Neighborhood News Network, the 501(c)3 that delivers My Edmonds News.
“The Edmonds Chamber is honored to recognize the incredible work of Teresa Wippel,” said Ryan Crowther, President and CEO of the Edmonds Chamber. “It’s so easy to forget how lucky the community is to have an asset like My Edmonds News, and how much work it takes to keep it afloat. Teresa remains a humble, hard-working leader behind the scenes incessantly churning out stories and overseeing the organization, and it’s exactly the kind of work we love to recognize,” Crowther added.
