Ballard Sunday Market

Want a fresh, fun way to try something new together on a beautiful Sunday afternoon? Spend a lovely afternoon out at the Ballard Sunday Market any Sunday of the year – rain or shine! From 10 a.m. – 3 p.m. the old historic road is lined with vendors and all of the small boutiques and restaurants that already line the streets are open as well! Head down together (& bring your dog if you have one) and walk up and down the vendors enjoying everything from handmade soaps, juices, fruits & vegetables, meats, jewelry, hats, flowers, & more! Head to Ballard (or their more recent sister market in Fremont) with just a little bit of money in hand. Figure out how you can make a meal with the money you have, then buy some vegetables, meat, & some pasta and get your creative juices flowing by spending the evening cooking back at home. Cooking for a few hours can be really fun & a way to have some quality time together talking. Buy a new type of cheese while you are at the market and snack on that while you are cooking as an appetizer. Have fun working together, laughing together, & doing dishes together. It’s something fun to do that doesn’t cost much. Maybe even set up the table with a few flowers that you purchase & put on some fun music in the background! Eat up!

What to Wear:

Ladies: Be comfortable! Wear something that works for

being in the sun, but since you are close to the canal plan for a little wind as well with the scarf (and that is why I am recommending a knee-length skirt or longer!) Add a little color with an easy-to-carry cross body bag. Put on some boots that can keep you a little warm and also be comfortable to walk in. This outfit will be comfortable for working in the kitchen as well!

Men: Be casual & comfortable as well. Throw on some boat sho

es with your jeans & a short-sleeve shirt so you can be comfortable outdoors and indoors. A jacket that can be thrown overtop might be a good idea for when you are at the market incase it’s chilly in the shaded areas! Try some of these neutral shades – brown is really a great color!
