Celebrate! is the city’s summer concert with local bands, food trucks and beer and wine gardens. “That area has had a ton of new residents within the last few years,” Bush says. “This event connects with the residents and lets them interact and celebrate with the concerts.” The Lynnwood Luau is an afternoon concert where visitors can spot people hula or fire dancing. It’s also home to Lynnwood’s first and only outdoor Tiki Bar. Fair on 44th brings the community together for an afternoon in September.
