Redmond’s So Bazaar weekly night markets begin Thursday
Published 3:20 pm Monday, August 4, 2014
The City of Redmond is presenting a new summer urban night market for three nights in this month called So Bazaar.
The market showcases a variety of local artists, artisans, entertainers, food trucks and a beer garden.
With roots in the street life throughout Asia, Redmond’s inaugural So Bazaar brings concerts and programs along the new Redmond Central Connector (RCC) Thursday nights from 5:30–9:30 p.m. beginning this week, continuing Aug. 14 and 21. Each night provides themed merchandise, performance art and social activities. Parking is free in the new RCC parking lot off of Bear Creek Parkway near Leary Way and along the street on Bear Creek Parkway.
The RCC, located between 161st Avenue Northeast and Leary Way, will be transformed to a live night market for anyone looking to get a bite to eat, have a drink and catch a show after work. It offers a marketplace to find or sell artisan and food products while enjoying recognized and emerging artists and live musicians.
“Downtown Redmond is filled with many new faces and cultures,” said City of Redmond Arts administrator Joshua Heim. “So Bazaar is about celebrating these changes through food and art and having a great night out with friends and family.”
