Just wanted to update my previous list of Seattle area Festivals and Fairs that are happening in June. Here are some additions:
June 2-3: Georgetown Music Fest. Music, music, music.
June 9-10: Pagdiriwang at the Seattle Center. A celebration of Philippine film, dance, drama, fashion and food. I’m told that this is a traditional festival, but I’m […]
What does Freedom sound like?
To the members of Sierra Leone’s Refugee All Stars, it sounds like a combination of traditional West African music with a bit of reggae influence.
The members of the world music act all lived in or near Freeport (the capital city of Sierra Leone) before fleeing during the country’s civil war. Although […]
It’s summertime, and it seems that you can’t turn around without finding a summer festival or fair of some sort. Some are long running festivals that have been a part of our landscape for years. There are also a few new comers that look like they have a lot of potential. And, of course, it […]

My contribution to this week’s carnival was Bugs for the Wall at Howard House.
I’m a regular contributor to this weekly […]

I did a little preliminary research into what I wanted in a bike, and eventually made my decision. […]
Insects can be kind of creepy. Especially when you see the crawling around your wall. While I’m not afraid of them, it does send a sort of shiver up my spine and I “relocate” them.
It was with a little trepidation, then, that I approached the current exhibit at Howard House, an exhibit by local artist […]
The Northwest Folklife Festival has been a part of Seattle’s Memorial Day Weekend festivities for 36 years, and has been the one of our annual rites of passage into the summer season.
Pacific Northwest artists and musicians band together to create an ethnic party that embracing music, dance, visual arts, children’s activities, workshops, crafts, food, and […]
Still looking for something to do over the upcoming Memorial Day weekend? How about virtual road trip along the Washington Wine Highway?
You don’t drive this highway — you walk it. Without ever leaving the ground of Chateau Ste. Michelle in Woodinville, you can make the virtual trek between Woodinville and Walla Walla. Along the way, […]
