The Market has operated along the historic cobblestone stretch of Ballard Avenue NW between Vernon Place and 22nd Avenue. We hope you will visit us soon and plan to spend the day exploring one of the gems of Seattle. Drive through option now available.
The Ballard ArtWalk, hosted by the Ballard Alliance, celebrates both fine and performing arts, and promotes our vibrant community's businesses. Go to visitballard.com/artwalk to download this month's program and view our artist/venue lineup.
