I hope to see you all at the Seattle Tilth Harvest Fair ^[1] on Saturday, but that’s not all that’s going on this weekend. There’s plenty to do for kids and grownups alike:

Go Swimming

This is your last chance to hit the public outdoor pools before they close for the season. Mounger pool ^[2] in Magnolia has family swim (and a corkscrew slide!) from 5:30-7 pm on Saturday and Sunday. Or for the little ones they have gentle swim from 11am – noon. Colman pool ^[3] in West Seattle is a heated salt water pool and has family swim from 5-7pm, Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

Colman Pool – 8603 Fauntleroy Way SW; $2.75 – $3.75 admission

Mounger Pool – 2535 32^nd Ave. W, $2.75 – $3.75 admission; corkscrew slide is $1 extra

Aki Matsuri (Japanese Fall Festival) ^[4]

This celebration of Japanese culture has all things Japanese, including a Japanese flea market ^[5], Japanese arts and crafts vendors ^[6], and plenty of performances ^[7], like Japanese drumming, a tea ceremony demonstration, and puppet shows ^[8].

9/6 from 10am-6pm and 9/7 from 11am-5pm
Bellevue Community College Main Campus ^[9] – 3000 Landerholm Circle SE, Bellevue

Morning Movie and Pajama Party ^[10]

Watch the Jungle Movie in your pajamas at this benefit for Morningsong Early Learning Center ^[11], the only child care center in Seattle serving homeless toddlers and preschoolers. $15 gets you a seat at the movie, popcorn, and a drink. Note that tickets must be purchased in advance ^[10].

The Majestic Bay Theatres ^[12] in Ballard

Star Party at Greenlake ^[13]
View the stars through telescopes provided by the Seattle Astronomical Society ^[14]. Held on the north shore of the lake at a grassy area west of the Bathhouse Theater, near the fishing piers.

Alki Statue of Liberty Dedication Ceremony ^[15]
