The nights are cool in the summer....

Summer is usually my favorite time to shop Farmer's Market. It's so full of color and life! This summer, though, I am finding it harder to get up early and harder to enjoy time in the sun.

Enter: the Twilight Farmer's Market.

I just "happened" upon this market while researching this morning and I am so excited! First of all, it's the only serious farmer's market on the west side and secondly, it's at night! I haven't been yet and am always a little skeptical of the buzzword "farmer's market"--it can mean anything from a craft fair to a lemonade stand. My intent in farmer's marketing, though, is to get local, affordable organic produce. And from the buzz surrounding this market, it sounds like it may be promising!

I am very excited!

It's every Wednesday from 6-9 pm in the Citadel off of the 101 and 59th Ave. Can't wait to tell you how it goes!

Also, if you're looking for something fun and affordable in the evenings, try Kierland Commons' Summer Concert Series. We went last Saturday and couldn't get enough! A different live band plays each week and the place gets packed out early. Bring a lawn chair or blanket or just find a spot in the grass. The fountains are on for the kids and the night is filled with fun and music. Come to dance, listen or just play!

Saturday nights, 7-10pm at Kierland Commons.

Here's to a glorious summer!
