It’s a big weekend in Ballard. We’ll be at the Seafood Fest with 60,000 others (see below), and temperatures are expected to push 90 degrees on Sunday.
This weekend is the 35th Annual Seafood Fest in Central Ballard. Be sure to come say hi to us on Saturday. We’ll be hanging out at the Sip & Ship booth from noon to 1 p.m. before heading over to the lutefisk and hot dog eating contests. See the full schedule of events here.
The Ballard Sidewalk Sale continues through the weekend.
Saturday is the third annual Crown Hill neighborhood garage sale. A map of participating homes can be found here.
The Greater Seattle Fuschia show is Saturday at the Locks from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
Learn about the Cedar River salmon migration on Saturday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Volunteers will be at the Ballard Locks talking about the epic journey that takes place every year as salmon swim from the ocean, through the Locks, into Lake Washington, and on up the river to spawn. Afterwards, help raise money for the salmon at the “Drink Like a Fish” event at BalMar. A $10 donation gets you a free pint and happy hour prices from 5 p.m. to close.
The Fidgety Feet-Dixie Land Band performs at the Locks from 2 to 3:30 p.m. on Saturday. The West Seattle Big Band plays on Sunday from 2 to 3 p.m.
