Family fun for the weekend, rain or shine….

South 47 Farm Tomato Celebration

South 47 is always a fun time, but this weekend is extra-special, since they’re celebrating heirloom tomatoes (the best summer treat, in my opinion). In addition to the usual goats, alpacas, and u-pick produce, you can sample heirloom tomatoes (they grow a dozen varieties), go an a hayride, and “listen as Storytelling Steve shares stories from the land of the tomato’s birth.”

Jazz at Cal Anderson

Free jazz in the park. The first of five performances begins at 1pm with Floss featuring Zachary Watkins. Also playing: Reptet, Aram Shelton + Special O.P.S., Ahamefule J. Oluo & the New Seattle Brass Ensemble featuring Okanomodé, and The Wally Shoup Free Three.

Arts-in-Nature Festival

This sounds amazing - musical and dance performances throughout the park, a “museum of sound where artists take up residency for the weekend and create multidisciplinary installations that blend sound, auditory arts, music and visual arts,” and “lots of interactive and hands-on activities such as EcoRhythm Instrument Building, EcoArt Mask Making, and Printmaking in Nature Interactive Arts/Family-Kids area.”

Duwamish River Festival

“This free, fun, family-friendly environmental festival’s feature attraction is updates on the Duwamish River Superfund cleanup.  This year’s event will have even more booths and activities including kayak tours on the river, live entertainment, water taxi rides, food, children’s activities, health information, tiny tots nail salon, an eco-friendly car wash demonstration, and more!”

Dive-in Movie

Friday night is the monthly dive-in movie at Medgar Evers pool. This weekend they are showing Snow Buddies, which appears to be about talking, dog-sledding puppies (?!). $3.75 adults, $2.75 kids.
