Can't Miss It: Weekend Edition, July 11-13
ARTISTS X-ING, WITH CAMERAS: A motley crew of photographers are gathering down at the Market tonight to explore the area through their camera lenses for the evening. They're meeting at that brass pig by the fish throwers (could this event get any more Seattle?) and will be snapping photos around the Market, downtown, Pioneer Square, the waterfront, and more. It's open to anyone who wants to join in the spirit of discovery and photography.
6 p.m., Friday // Pike Place Market // Free
SVEN, LARS AND PANCAKES: The Nordic Museum's parking lot and a nearby park are transformed into a "Viking marketplace" for the weekend. The festival is called Tivoli and features a pancake breakfast on both days, as well as a salmon dinner on Saturday. We hear there will be live music, kid-friendly craft projects(!!) and a beer garden(!!!). Magic combination!
10 a.m. - 6 p.m., Sat; 11 a.m. - 5 p.m., Sun // Nordic Museum, 3014 NW 67th St. // Free
RIDICULOUSLY GOOD NON-SUB POP MUSIC: As usual, the weekend's a jackpot for music in our area: the legendary Stevie Wonder is at the White River Amphitheatre tonight, and we also highly recommend Wild Orchid Children's crazy blues-meets-beats show at the Blue Moon** for your Friday entertainment. Philly hustla Freeway is going to bring the house down at Chop Suey on Saturday (read: one of the best rap shows of the damn summer), and on Sunday we recommend going Irish and catching Ockham's Razor at the High Dive.
