Move Redmond Open Streets Festival
Double the fun, double the excitement! Get ready for 2 Open Streets Festivals!
Exciting news is on the horizon as we announce not one, but two Open Streets Festivals coming your way this year at Overlake Village and Downtown Redmond!
We’re returning to Downtown Redmond Park in August, and in celebration of the phased opening of the 2 Line light rail, are adding a new Overlake Village Open Streets Festival to our calendar in June!

The festival fosters countless community connections and plants the seeds of positive change on the Eastside.
