As a partner event of the Ellensburg Rodeo, we often see event attendance from <br />rodeo contestants and families. <br />Buskers in the Burg highlights arts, music, and family fun, making it a must-visit creative festival. This event has ties to the <br />Fremont Solstice parade and is a big draw due to the Blue Bear Puppet Lab. <br />Night Market Series offers visitors a festival-style experience with food trucks, micro-retailers, and live entertainment, turning <br />downtown into a summer and winter market, on a mid-weeknight that typically doesn't have as much going on. <br />Downtown for the Holidays: Provides a quintessential small-town holiday experience with shopping promotions, a tree lighting, <br />and community gathering, as strong draw for Seattle-area visitors seeking a festive getaway. <br />Overall, people who are looking to escape from the hustle and bustle of their busy metropolitan lives can attend events in <br />Ellensburg for a much-needed escape. Ellensburg provides something for everyone as a creative district, historic district, art <br />hub, wine scene, unique shopping experiences, and rural heritage we provide something for everyone. <br />Additionally, we are aware of the growing sports recreation market that is infiltrating Ellensburg on the weekends. We are <br />working to find ways that we can attract to this market of people who are coming into town for sports, but during downtime, <br />they’re finding recreation in our downtown shops, wineries, and restaurants. <br />2500 character limit
