Get Your First Dibs
On Saturday, November 15th, your evening plans are locked. You'll be in Downtown Edmonds, kicking off the holiday season with vino, exclusive shopping specials, and a whole lot of holly jolly. Why? Because First Dibs is back, baby! And like all things Edmonds Holiday, it's better than ever.
Truly. Keep reading to learn about the nitty-gritty and to plan your route (and childcare) accordingly.

The Wine
Pinkies up, Edmonds! This year, you can sip and shop at all of our aforementioned shops and Downtown destinations. You read that right—every 2025 First Dibs location is a Wine Stop!
Each Wine Stop location will pour locally-curated wines from Vinbero in a commemorative wine glass. Tickets must be purchased before the party. You can do that here.
Now, remember, drink responsibly if you're choosing to sip, and also know there's no pressure from us. We love sober shopping, too! All wine ticket proceeds benefit Washington Kids's holiday needs. Pick up your tickets—and your glass(es)—at Ombu Salon beginning at 4:30pm on First Dibs. And bring your ID! For the record, you don't look a day over 25.
Here's the ticket breakdown:
$21 for one 4 oz glass and a festive collectible glass
$30 for two 4 oz pours and a festive collectible glass (tickets can be split across shops)
$38 for three 4 oz pours and a festive collectible glass (tickets can be split across shops)
$46 for four 4 oz pours and a festive collectible glass (tickets can be split across shops)
Get Your First Dibs On
Take us shopping with you—virtually! You don't even have to spend money on us to do it. Just add #edmondsholidays to your posts and we'll find you (and clink glasses) on the socials.
If we don't see you around Downtown (we have our shopping lists, too, and only three hours to get a lot checked off), thank you for shopping locally. It gives us all the warm and fuzzies, especially during the holidays.
