Just down the shoreline from Everett, MukFest is the region’s beloved end-of-summer send-off — three days of live music, a beer garden, food and craft vendors, kids’ activities, and the hometown “Heart of Mukilteo” parade through downtown on Saturday, September 12.

Free shuttle buses run from Olympic View Middle School and Kamiak High School starting at 10:30 AM on parade day — which is the move, since waterfront parking fills fast. A perfect excuse for a mini coastal road trip weekend. Full schedule at mukfest.com.
