Enjoy July in Mount Vernon!
Enjoy July in Mount Vernon!From the Fabulous Fourth of July Celebration at Edgewater Park to the Skagit Highland Games and Celtic Arts Festival, Mount Vernon is the place to be in July. We have fabulous weather - not too hot, not too cool - just perfect for shopping downtown, relaxing in one of our great local restaurants, or taking the whole family on an outdoor adventure. Be sure to check out the "Things to Do" section of this website for a great list of summer activities and festivals!
The Fabulous Fourth of July is a great Fourth festival with a positive community feel. Bundle up the kids and head to Edgewater Park to enjoy beautiful fireworks, live music from great bands, food vendors, and more! The Skagit Valley Highland Games and Celtic Arts Festival brings a bit of Scotland to Mount Vernon, also at Edgewater Park, on July 12 and 13. Enjoy bagpipe band competitions, fiddling championships, sheepdog trials, Scottish country dancing, caber toss, arts & crafts, and much more! This "don’t miss" event is one of Mount Vernon's finest.
If you have kids, you might enjoy the free Children's Art Festival at Hillcrest Park on the 19th. This event features free arts & crafts for children of all ages, entertainment, face painting, balloons, concessions, and more! Also visit the Skagit County Fairgrounds on the 19th and 20th for Horse Around Days, an Equine Extravaganza with riding demonstrations, education, and entertainment.
The whole family can find fun things to do in Mount Vernon throughout July. Pick fresh berries at any number of U-Pick sites, kayak the San Juan Islands, watch the sprint car races at the Skagit Speedway every Saturday, enjoy gourmet food near the Skagit River, find treasures and farm-fresh produce at the Mount Vernon Farmers' Market, golf, hike, bike, shop, relax, or go wine tasting. Adventure awaits you in Mount Vernon!
