Can you believe it? Summer is officially coming to a close, but that doesn’t mean we are slowing down on the fun.
Paddle Rave sends off summer on Lake Union
You might be running out of time to get out on the water with great weather. If you want to experience a concert a different way, check out the final concert of the Lake Union Concert Series, the Seattle Paddle Rave. This event is even bigger than it used to be, as the Seattle Paddle Rave has partnered with Seafair to bring out Trek Ferry for a bigger stage and an even more immersive experience. If you are heading out on the water, a life jacket is required, among other rules you’ll check out when getting your free ticket.
The event is a witch paddle rave, so that means break out your best witch look and get ready for spooky season. The Seattle Paddle Rave is Sunday from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m., and if you are heading to the rave, Everout.com suggests you board your vessel from the Sunnyside Boat Launch, Fremont Canal, or Lake Washington Rowing Club Dock due to the construction at Gas Works Park.
Art downtown, lanterns at Green Lake
Throughout Downtown Seattle this weekend, you will see the work of over 200 artists, covering over 20 city blocks, during WalkDontRun. This art walk that goes from Westlake Park to Occidental Square will feature a variety of art and performances to see, ranging from live music to demonstrations and workshops. Take your time as the name of the event suggests, and enjoy the wonderful weather we are expected to have while seeing something creative and new. WalkDontRun is Saturday, starting at 11 a.m.
Take the family over to Green Lake on Saturday night for a very cool lantern parade called the Luminata. Starting at 5 p.m., Green Lake will begin to glow with lanterns and luminaries, dancing, music, and art installations. While there are always lantern workshops leading up to the event, the Lantern Shop will open up at 5:30 p.m. for those looking to get in on the fun. The procession around the lake will begin at 7 p.m., following the opening ceremony — just follow the music. The Aqua Theater will be the meeting place for the event, which starts Saturday at 5 p.m.
Apples, sister cities, and a 100-year-old lodge
Get into the spirit of fall in, well, Fall City. The Fall City Apple Festival is this weekend at the Northwest Natural Horsemanship Center, and what better way to bring in the season than apple pie, making cider, and enjoying live music with the family. There will be activities for the family to enjoy, food trucks serving up tasty treats, and why not try out riding a horse? The Fall City Apple Festival is Sunday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and is free to attend…
