Bidi Bidi Bom Bash is back again to bring its three-day event full of community vendors, markets, and best of all, cumbia rhythms to the South End.

Festivities will begin next month on April 13 and will kick off with a market at Lake Burien Presbyterian Church. Attendees will see an assortment of local vendors selling anything from art and jewelry to food. A “Bidi Bidi Bom Brunch” at La Esquina will follow the next day, April 14, and will feature drag performances.
