Yakima’s Calendar of Events
There’s always something to do in the Yakima Valley. Every year residents and visitors of all ages gather to celebrate traditional holidays, cultural celebrations, artisan creations and the bounty of a valley built on harvests beginning in late spring.
Yakima’s Calendar of Events continues to grow each year. Some of the most popular events include:
- Yakima Downtown New Year's Eve, an annual celebration of the new year with live music, great food and fireworks at midnight.
- Cinco de Mayo celebration.
- Yakima Live, a huge gathering of artists, musicians, restaurants, wineries and breweries.
- Yakima Summer Kickoff Party, an old fashioned community picnic.
- The Fresh Hop Ale Fest, an Allied Arts event celebrating the art of brewing with great live music and delicious food.
- Shots 3-on-3 Basketball Tournament.
- The farmers' market October Fest, a celebration of fall with great German food, beer tent, live music and dancing.
- Downtown lighted parade with Santa and a Christmas tree lighting ceremony holiday event presented by The Capitol Theatre.
