BelRed Arts Night Market: The Recap
The BelRed Arts District Community Alliance officially pulled off the first-ever annual BelRed Arts Night Market, with large support of sponsors, community partners, volunteers, vendors, artists, local creative businesses/organizations and so much more.
This inaugural BelRed Arts Night Market was one of the first large scale event that has ever taken place in the BelRed Arts District — we welcomed hundreds from the community to the BelRed Light Rail Station on August 23 from 3:00 PM - 9:00 PM for an immersive arts and culture experience in the heart of the Arts District. We featured 10 live performances, 42 vendors showcasing local art, artists and creative organizations/businesses, and three food trucks. We are grateful to every single person who joined us for the event. Despite the heat, you showed up, explored, and supported local artists — reminding us once again why building a sustainable, creative, connected community in Bellevue matters.
The BelRed Arts Night Market was a major first step for us in cultivating a long-lasting cultural destination on the Eastside. Take a look at our photo album from the event, and we hope to see you next year.
