Summer’s not over yet! Celebrate the season in downtown Bellevue.
The best part of summer? Getting outside and soaking it all in. Before the crisp air and cozy vibes of fall arrive (don’t worry, we’ve got plenty of fun events then, too), there’s still time to make the most of Bellevue’s sunny days. From music to markets, there are a variety of ways to enjoy the season while the sun still shines.
Bellevue Outdoor Movies – Tuesdays & Thursdays
The ultimate summer night out. A 40-foot movie screen transforms Downtown and Crossroads parks into open-air theaters, bringing big-screen magic under the stars. Before the show starts, enjoy live music from local performers, interactive entertainment, and a variety of vendors to keep the fun going.
Still to come: Monsters University on August 19 & A Wild Robot on August 21.
Pop-Up on the Plaza - August 25
Join us for a fun midday break featuring free mini scones from Cafe An’Clair (while supplies last), community booths, and a free outdoor yoga class hosted in partnership with CorePower Yoga Bellevue.
Live at Lunch - Thursdays & Fridays
Step away from your desk and enjoy the sounds of the Live at Lunch Music Series. Nothing complements live music better than delicious food! Savor a rotating lineup of food trucks on-site each week, and don’t forget to explore the incredible selection of nearby restaurants for even more tasty options.
