Whether you’re planning a shopping trip, meeting friends for lunch, or looking for a fun summer outing, The Bellevue Collection has something happening nearly every week in July. From a gift with purchase and live lunchtime music to the Northwest’s largest arts and crafts festival and discounted weekday valet parking, there are plenty of reasons to stop by throughout the month.
Starting July 13, shoppers who spend $30 or more at any Bellevue Collection restaurant or quick-serve café can treat themselves to a free summer cooler bag, perfect for bringing an ice-cold drink on the next sunny outing. Same-day receipts must be brought to Guest Services in Bellevue Square’s Center Court to redeem for a Cooler Bag. Rules and restrictions apply.
Looking for a midday break? The Live at Lunch concert series returns to Bellevue Square’s Fountain Court on Fridays from July 10 through Aug. 21, turning the lunch hour into a lively summer gathering. Enjoy refreshing iced coffee hosted by Nespresso at Bellevue Square Macy’s, while supplies last. Concerts are free and run from noon to 1 p.m. The series opens July 10 with The South End Boys and wraps up Aug. 21 with Kaitie Wade.
Later in the month, the Bellevue Arts Fair, presented by The Bellevue Collection in partnership with Bellevue Arts Museum, returns July 24–26 along the West Drive of Bellevue Square in the mall’s West Parking Garage.
Recognized as the largest award-winning arts and crafts festival in the Northwest, the event will feature more than 350 artists across more than 240 booths, showcasing handmade work from local, national, and emerging designers, artists, and craftspeople.
Visitors can also enjoy dining at more than 50 restaurants, cafés, and quick-serve locations throughout The Bellevue Collection while taking in the event.
If lunch is on your agenda, The Bellevue Collection’s weekday valet promotion makes it even easier to visit. Through Sept. 13, diners who eat at participating restaurants on weekdays and mention the $8 special can take advantage of half-price valet parking at Hyatt Regency Bellevue, W Bellevue, or The Westin Bellevue for arrivals between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m.
Participating restaurants include Baron’s Sino Kitchen & Bar, Castilla, Central Bar + Restaurant, Duke’s Seafood, Fogo de Chão, Japonessa Sushi Cocina, JOEY Bellevue, STK Steakhouse, Thai Kitchen Bird Pepper, and The Lakehouse. Restrictions apply.
Whether you’re shopping, enjoying lunch, listening to live music, or exploring local art, July offers plenty of reasons to make The Bellevue Collection part of your summer plans.
