Taste Edmonds — Local services in Edmonds

First off.. there’s NO taste of Edmonds. Entrance fee was $25 and there is nothing except bands playing and shuffle boards for kids or something. There is literally 6 or 8 food trucks that were barricaded so people have to cue and walk by the wire fences. I’m not sure why they block the food trucks to the main area when people already paid for the event!? Other than games for kids and bands theres the time share booths , popcorn and two restaurants that participated which were inside a makeshift tent. It’s laughable we didn’t order food because it was another $25 and I feel I wasted $25 of I would say exorbitant amount of entrance fee for nothing. It was so so much better 5 years ago when it was really a great summer event with flee markets, lots of fair food choices, rides for kids and much more . This year was thumbs down. I hope the money I spent for the entrance goes to a...

Have visited Taste Edmonds many years now and this year was such a failure I will unlikely attend again if changes aren't made. $32/each to get in and hardly any actual food options, 4 food options, a smoothie truck, a mini donut stand, and an ice cream stand. In prior years I could spend hours wandering around enjoying the food selection, but we struggled to even stay 2 after visiting all the vendors. At the end we just sat down not wanting to cut what is usually a fun time short but with nothing left to do we just went home disheartened by the experience we got and the money we wasted. Would have been better off just having the Farmers Market because at least there is more to do. Given the number of people that I saw disgusted by this year I really hope next year is improved because I would hate to see what was once a great time...

We’ve been attending the Taste of Edmonds every year for a couple of decades. I understand they lost the space that the event was once held but I also find it hard to believe that the space they currently hold the event is the best they can come up with. There once was at least a dozen food trucks, maybe even 2 dozen or more, lots of shopping, a lot of fun for the kids, and plenty of room to roam. Until the ‘move’ the entry fee was totally affordable for anyone. Now it’s $25 just to enter, there’s only a few food trucks that are barricaded up on the hill, no room to even stand in line, and once you get your food there’s no place to sit down and eat it. I’m just beside myself in disappointment and I’m afraid the Taste of Edmonds as I once knew...
