🎨 Beacon Arts Street Fair

Date: 9/13

Beacon Arts Street Fairs are Seattle’s best kept secret for second Saturday good vibes (May through September). Think live music, a killer art market, free garden seed swaps, street-side haiku contests, pet parades, and food stalls that hit just right all in one neighborhood takeover. Slide into Centilia Cultural Center for dance classes, puppet story time, and air-conditioned chill whenever you need a break.

• Local flavor for everyone: Discover South Seattle artists, makers, and food vendors, shopping feels like supporting your neighbors (and your wallet stays happy)

• Free and fun for all ages: Let kids earn “Fair Bucks,” make art, write haikus, parade with pets. Zero tickets, full experience

• Vibe switches on the regular: Each month brings fresh themes, like “All Creatures Large & Small” with dance parties, poetry, and mobile petting zoos in other months

Upcoming Events and other stuff

🍻 Oktoberfest SZN (for the parents)

Date: Sept. 29 - Oct. 05

Oktoberfest is for the parents this edition (and some kid friendly options). Here’s a quick breakdown of the options we have around Seattle this season.

All fall long you’ll find everything from Fremont’s massive beer-fueled street party to Puyallup’s full-on Munich-style carnival with wiener dog races, stein-holding contests, and polka bands. Smaller neighborhood fests pop up too, like Wallingford’s Wurst Fest and West Seattle’s cozy taproom bash, perfect for families and pups. Whether you want craft brews by the Sound in Des Moines, a day trip to Leavenworth’s Bavarian blowout, or just an excuse to wear lederhosen without judgment, Seattle’s got you covered. Prost.

Kid Friendly Parent Confessions from our readers

“My toddler always wears daycare quality play clothes because she’s always getting messy, and sometimes if I need to, I’ll wipe my hands off on her shirt so I don’t get myself messy”

“We’ve watched KPOP Demon Hunters 5 times, I’ve also watched it 7 times by myself”

“I have enough heat sense when warming bottles of pumped breast milk whether it was too hot from the wrist technique. Which eventually lead to me squirting some of the precious white stuff on my finger, running it across my gum line and saying “yup, it’s pure” like a detective cliche from every drug movie ever.”

Paid stuff

⚾️ Tacoma Rainiers

With only 6 home games left this season, don’t miss out on some Tacoma Rainiers baseball action. The perfect excuse to grab a hot dog, a cold drink, and soak up summer at Cheney Stadium. With promo nights, cheap ticket bundles, and playoff energy in the air, these last matchups are Tacoma’s way of saying goodbye to summer ✌️

• Go early: Kids love the ballpark energy, and you’ll snag the best promo giveaways before they run out.

• Hit the grass berm: Cheap tickets, space for kids to wiggle, and a picnic-style vibe.

• Pack layers: Evening games cool down fast in Tacoma, so bring hoodies and blankets to keep the crew comfy.

Dining

🍝 Due' Cucina (Roosevelt)

Due' Cucina came recommended from one of you amazing subscribers. We checked it out that same day and it was absolutely incredible 🤤 From kid friendly options and open style atmosphere to seeing the chefs actually make your food right in front of you, this was a culinary experience and a serious taste of Italy 🇮🇹 

• Customize Your Pasta: Start with a base and pile on toppings. Go wild with truffle oil or short rib ragù. Warning: it’s gnocchi your average pasta experience.

• Don’t Skip Appetizers: Those Supplì al Telefono? Crispy rice croquettes with gooey cheese that string you along in the best way possible.

• Pair with Wine: Let the staff help you pick a wine that makes your pasta sing. Remember: a meal without wine is pasta pointless.
