Kirkland’s City Hall 4 All

In alignment with Welcoming Week, the City of Kirkland is hosting its annual City Hall 4 All (CH4A) event at Kirkland City Hall (123 5th Ave.) to celebrate the work in communities to become welcoming places for all in Kirkland. This year, City Hall 4 All will be celebrated on Saturday, September 19 from 12 – 4 p.m.

Over 40 City Departments and community partners will have interactive booths with free giveaways.

NEW Mini Belonging Parade

To further celebrate the many unique communities that make up Kirkland, the Lake Washington High School Marching Band and cultural performers will lead the Mini Belonging Parade at 2 p.m., looping around City Hall. Attendees are encouraged to pick up decorations and giveaways at participating booths beforehand and join the parade on foot, by wagon, or by stroller. No registration is required. Just show up and jump in!

NEW Children’s Business Fair

Young business owners ages 5-12 are invited to set up their own booths, showcase their products and services, and practice the art of selling to the public. Whether your child makes crafts, offers a service, or has invented something totally original, this is their chance to shine in front of thousands of Kirkland neighbors! It’s hands-on, it’s fun, and it’s real — because the best way to learn business is to do business.

City Hall for All is a public, family-friendly event designed to foster civic engagement, cultural inclusion, and dialogue between the City and the community. Kirkland prides itself on being a respectful, welcoming community where everyone feels that they can belong at the event.
