August is shaping up to be an exciting month in the Pacific Northwest, and if you’re a fan of creativity and community events, you’re in for a treat! First on the agenda is the Flock Fiber Festival, happening from August 8 to 10. Picture this: knitters, crocheters, and fiber artists from all walks of life converging at the Seattle Convention Center to drool over fabulous yarns and learn from experts. It’s like Coachella, but way fluffier and less likely to get you sunburned.
Not to be overshadowed, KEXP is bringing back its legendary BBQ on August 15 after a 13-year break! Expect an epic lineup of live performances, delicious food options, and a friendly atmosphere. Who wouldn’t want to chow down while enjoying tunes from artists like Curtis Harding? And let’s not forget about Alki Beach Pride on August 16, which is all about celebrating love and community spirit—what better way to spend a sunny day at the beach alongside performers, local artists, and food vendors?
So grab your knitting needles and don your most colorful attire, because this month promises a delightful mix of creativity, culture, and community. Would you rather attend a cozy fiber festival or rock out at a vibrant BBQ? Let us know what your sweet spot is!
