Seattle weekend events: Bye, State Fair and hello, Oktoberfest
Happy Friday and welcome back to the weekend. There are loads of events to check out in and around Seattle in the coming days.
Fall is in the air and, to celebrate, you can head to Green Lake in Seattle for a parade. The Luminata is Saturday night at 7:30 p.m. and features a short walk and tons of custom lanterns. There have been workshops throughout the month for folks to make their own lanterns for the event, but if you missed out on those, the lantern workshop will open at 5:30 p.m. The workshop and starting point of the parade will be right around the Green Lake Boathouse.
It’s the final weekend of the Washington State Fair in Puyallup. So, this is the last chance for fans to eat all your favorite fair food and ride your favorite rides. Get tickets and details of what’s going on the weekend events at the fairgrounds at its website.
Who needs to wait for October for Oktoberfest
Oktoberfest has arrived in Seattle’s Fremont neighborhood this weekend for what they call on their website Seattle’s biggest beer festival. More than 100 different types of beer will be available to try, as well as live music, food and a couple of friendly competitions. See how strong you are during the stein-hoisting contest or watch chainsaw-wielding pumpkin carvers create one-of-a-kind pumpkin art. Fremont Oktoberfest runs Friday through Sunday, and if you have a four-legged friend who wants to join in on the fun, Sunday is Dogtoberfest!
Does Oktoberfest get you in the mood for brats? What about brats for a cause? The Great Wallingford Bratwurst Festival is Friday and Saturday at St. Benedict School in Seattle’s Wallingford neighborhood. This will have all your festival favorites, live music from local bands and a beer garden.
It’s still a family event, so that means bouncy houses, games at the Fun Zone, a shop for sweets and more are also available. Get more details by searching Wallingford Bratwurst Festival on Facebook.
Rainer hosting R Day, Farm Fest
Few things are better on the weekend than an ice-cold Rainer, at least for me. It’s more than just an adult beverage for some, it’s a lifestyle and that is on full display during R Day. The lineup includes live music, your chance to find and buy cool Rainer merch — both new and vintage — and there’s even an arcade. This takes place on Saturday in Georgetown, and no ticket is required.
Head out with the kids and learn about the world of urban agriculture at the Farm Fest at Rainer Beach Urban Farm and Wetlands. This informative event will teach people about urban agriculture, offer a variety of crafts to make and food and cooking classes. This event is free and open to the public. Check out their website for more details.
Even more weekend events from listeners and readers
Support heart health this weekend at the Puget Sound Heart and Stroke Walk. This is happening this Saturday at the Seattle Center and will feature a non-competitive walk with 1-mile or 5K options. Proceeds will benefit the American Heart Association and it also offers quick CPR lessons as well. Get more details on Puget Sound Heart & Stroke Walk’s website.
The Chinatown-International District (CID) Night Market Returns at Hing Hay Park on Saturday. The free event offers an open-air market experience with dozens of food offerings, arts and crafts, cultural performances and lots more. Things get started at 1 p.m. Saturday and last until 9 p.m. Get more details here.
There’s also a night market going on at 37th Ave. S and Hudson Street from 6-10 p.m. Saturday. This is the Columbia City Night Market and there will be live music and plenty more to do.

SEATTLE – Western Washington is staying locked into a cool and unsettled weather pattern as we head into the second half of the week.
Showers will continue to rotate through the region over the next several days as a series of weather disturbances move overhead, keeping skies mostly cloudy and temperatures running below average for mid-May.
Thursday will bring a brief break in the action before the next weak system arrives later in the day. Expect scattered showers to redevelop with plenty of cloud cover sticking around. Temperatures will remain cool, with highs near 60 degrees.
It will be cool on Thursday in Western Washington with increasing clouds and showers. (FOX 13 Seattle)
What’s next:
The weather turns a bit more active Friday as the next system swings into the Pacific Northwest. Western Washington will see widespread showers and even the possibility of a few isolated thunderstorms. While not everyone will hear thunder, a few heavier downpours and small hail can’t be ruled out if any storms manage to develop during the afternoon.
Rain showers will push through Western Washington again on Friday afternoon. (FOX 13 Seattle)
Saturday will be cool with scattered showers and another chance for isolated thunderstorms, especially near the Cascades. Afternoon highs will struggle to make it out of the 50s across many lowland Puget Sound area communities.
Mountain travelers should also be prepared for a dramatic change compared to the recent warm spell. Much colder air will filter into the Cascades this weekend, and while significant snow accumulation looks unlikely, higher elevations could still see snow showers and sharply colder conditions. Anyone planning outdoor recreation in the mountains should be ready for winter-like weather at times.
Snow levels will drop to near pass levels in the Washington Cascades Friday through Sunday. (FOX 13 Seattle)
Looking Ahead:
The pattern finally begins to improve late in the weekend and into early next week. High pressure is expected to rebuild over the northeastern Pacific, bringing a return to drier weather and some sunshine. Temperatures should gradually rebound back into the 60s by Monday and Tuesday, although the ridge may remain weak enough to allow for occasional clouds at times.
Temperatures will be cool the next three days with showers in Seattle, but next week will be drier and warmer. (FOX 13 Seattle)
