Freedom Fair Outdoor Market

Features Great Food and Shopping Too!

Over 100 artists, craft vendors, and commercial exhibitors will join together on the Tacoma waterfront this Fourth of July to form a colorful and bustling public market. The merchants offer a wide assortment of toys, clothing, jewelry, works of art, crafts, home decorations, personal services, and so much more. The waterfront market is a super place to shop for those hard-to-find items. Be sure to take a look at the hand-made products from all over the Pacific Northwest and around the world. A Freedom Fair “International Food Court” is the place to bring a big appetite! Two big locations on Ruston Way are filled with great food. Don’t miss the group of food vendors by the Les Davis Pier in addition to the original food court location between Johnny’s and the Silver Cloud Inn and Dickman Mill Park. This Fourth of July leave your ice chest and picnic basket at home. Mom should not be cooking this holiday! Treat her and the rest of the gang to some of the best food you'll find at any festival this year. Dozens of food vendors will be offering up tasty treats from around the world and American favorites too.

The food booths will set up along the Ruston Way waterfront offering mouth watering foods such as: flame-broiled barbecue ribs, teriyaki chicken or beef, stir-fry vegetables and Yakisoba noodles. Mexican style foods will include tacos, nachos, quesadillas, burritos, fajitas and southwestern black beans. There will be plenty of hand-dipped ice cream bars, Italian meatball sandwiches, Cajun foods, Thai Cuisine, tropical shaved ice, roasted corn-on-the-cob, roast potatoes, Philadelphia sandwiches, and fresh fruit blend drinks. If that's not enough, why not try some Caribbean, Bavarian, Polynesian, or Greek style meats. Or you can settle down with a more traditional cheeseburger, hot dog or a big slice of pizza. Of course one can also find strawberry skewers, elephant ears, sundaes, fresh lemonade, old-fashioned kettle corn, Pepsi products and corn dogs too!
