This coming Friday the Ballard Chamber of Commerce will officially kickoff SeafoodFest with a benefit for the Seattle Fishermen’s Memorial.

From 6:30 to 10 p.m. at the Ballard Elks (6411 Seaview Ave NW), Smokin Pete’s Barbecue will be serving up some lip-smacking grub and Pyramid will be pouring the beer. Sourmash Stevedores will provide the music for the night.

The cost is $50 per ticket (purchase tickets here) which gets you all you can eat bbq and three drink tickets. The rest of the money goes to the Fishermen’s Memorial and the Ballard Chamber. For additional information email: bbq2010July9th@gmail.com or info@seattlefishermensmemorial.org.
