What’s on this weekend

Ballard events this weekend include an art exhibit opening, Library car care workshop, local author book signing, Greenwood tree walk and brewery events at Reuben’s and Populuxe!

Get outside for the Sunday Farmer’s Market with only few morning clouds that day, set to bring mainly sunny afternoon skies and a high of 77 degrees. After this Friday storm passes, we should be clear of thunderstorms for the rest of the weekend, says the forecast. Tomorrow we see a 10% chance of precipitation and a high of 74 degrees.

Have a great weekend Ballard!
