Summer may be slowly winding down, but there’s still a plethora of seasonal events that bring the culture of South Lake Union to life.
What would summer in Seattle be without the South Lake Union Block Party on August 7? While previous installments have featured an outdoor movie screening as entertainment, this year’s event switches the focus to music with a top-notch local lineup that includes otherworldly hip-hop duo THEESatisfaction, Kithkin’s wild and feral rhythmic rock, the gentle coo of singer-songwriter Tomo Nakyama, and more. Add Brave Horse Tavern’s beer garden, the annual SLU Best Burger Competition (tickets get you five sliders, a tote, and a chance to win a $100 gift certificate), art printing with steamrollers (really), and a family fun zone for the kids, and you’ve got a can’t-miss night.
