Your days off are yours. But we at The SunBreak like to think that a little direction can help make your weekend just a little bit better. So here are our picks for the last weekend of September. You know, other than swilling pints during Oktoberfest.
Seattle gets electronic with Decibel Festival
The bass started bumping last night at the 10th anniversary of Decibel Festival. Bassheads and electrophiles from all over the Pacific Northwest will be here this weekend, rocking to the likes of Shabazz Palaces, Lorde, Kid Smpl, and ODESZA from 10 Seattle venues—one of which is on a boat. Online tickets aren’t available anymore, but you can still buy them in-person at Broadway Performance Hall from 12-10, or if you’re lucky, at the show.
Cocktail competition at BevMo! in Issaquah
Tonight four drinkmasters will compete for the title of Grand Mixology Champion at BevMo!’s new location in Issaquah. But for visitors this means prizes, plenty of sippable 21+ beverages, and power in your hands to determine which drink and bartender wins. It starts at 6 tonight, and the 2-hour event is free. Alex Negranza of Liberty will be there.
Sustainability celebrated in Ballard on Sunday
Test ride an electric bike, sip on Ballard-made craft brews, watch chef demonstrations, drink Seattle’s newest infatuation — cider — and bring the kids for plenty of petting zoos, prizes, and interactive exhibits. It’s all about “living lightly” at this festival, and with more than 75 contributors for their 10th anniversary it’ll be hopping this Sunday from 11-6 at Ballard Commons Park. Entrance is free.
Discounted weekends through October at the EMP
Beginning on Tuesday, it’s 31 Days of Horror at the EMP this October. Which means that adults in costume receive $5 off admission and children under 12 get in free every weekend. For special events choose from Carrie: The Musical (complete with bloody dunk tank), or a Bowie-themed bash that goes down Oct. 12 with costume contests, “cosmic drinks,” and a Bowie cover band. Check out the website for more details.
