Colorful caftans to take over downtown Edmonds at 3rd Annual Roper Romp Aug. 1

The 3rd Annual Roper Romp will transform downtown Edmonds into a colorful celebration on August 1, with locals dressing in vibrant caftans and iconic red wigs reminiscent of Mrs. Roper from Three’s Company. This lively event, which is free and open to those aged 21 and older, aims to support local businesses while providing an evening of campy fun. Attendees can participate in a prize drawing, with proceeds from ticket sales benefiting the Edmonds Food Bank and Housing Hope, two local nonprofits dedicated to serving the community. Participants are encouraged to RSVP via Eventbrite and stay informed through the event's Facebook page.

The Roper Romp not only highlights local culture but also promotes charitable contributions and community spirit. This year’s romp promises to attract a diverse crowd, fostering connections among attendees. Historically, such events have strengthened local bonds and encouraged shopping at downtown establishments. The combination of entertainment and philanthropy makes this event a significant highlight for Edmonds residents.
