Seattle is bursting with free fun this weekend, from August 8 to 10, and there’s something for everyone! Kicking things off is the South Lake Union Block Party, a classic favorite where live music, food trucks, and local culture join forces for an unforgettable summer bash. Imagine rocking out to bands like Hockey Teeth and Lovely Colours, all while exploring art installations and playing lawn games. It sounds like a day that could only be topped by competing in a neighborhood street scramble—because who doesn’t want to race to find checkpoints with friends?
But that’s not all! Music lovers will find their groove at Downtown Summer Sounds, where various parks come alive with incredible local acts. Pack your lunch, soak up the sun, and indulge in some live tunes every weekday. For those wanting to venture beyond the city limits, Tacoma’s Glass Fest offers a mix of local artisan showcases and glassblowing demos, making it a prime reason to check out the Museum of Glass. And, if you’re feeling lucky, don’t miss out on the West Seattle Glass Float Hunt, where shiny treasures are hidden for you to find!
This weekend’s events are all about community, joy, and engaging our vibrant Seattle culture. With so many amazing activities to participate in without a hefty price tag, it’s the perfect time to gather your friends and experience the fun together! What’s your favorite free event to attend during the summer? Let’s hear your go-to picks!
