All week long, we've been posting lists of Seattle events to keep you busy (including the best arts & culture events, quirky things to do, and the best music shows to see), but we realize there's a lot to sort through. So, if you only have time to read one list, make it this one: We've plucked the biggest events you need to know about in every genre, from Earshot Jazz Festival Past Event Like List to Rainier Beer's R Day Past Event Like List to Issaquah Salmon Days Past Event Like List . See them all below, and find even more things to do this weekend on our complete EverOut Things To Do calendar, including the highlights for the entire month.

FOOD & DRINK FESTIVALS

15th Annual Great Pumpkin Beer Festival Past Event Like List
Though pumpkin beer is a decidedly divisive beverage, Elysian Brewing Company’s annual squash-themed celebration continues to draw fans year after year. The great pumpkin in question—a gigantic gourd weighing in at several hundred pounds—is scooped out, scorched, filled with pumpkin beer, sealed, conditioned, and tapped at the event. What’s more, over 80 pumpkin beers, including around 20 from Elysian, will be poured. JULIANNE BELL
Friday-Saturday, Seattle Center

17th Annual Fresh Hop Ale Festival Past Event Like List
Amazingly, Yakima Valley supplies more than 75 percent of the nation’s hops. During this time of year, local craft brewers avail themselves of the proximity and abundance of the hops crop, making ales with hops processed no more than 24 hours after being harvested. The result? Brews with a milder, more botanical profile and less bitterness than is normally associated with hoppy beers. Because of the fragile nature of those little green, cone-shaped flowers, it’s hard to rival the range of fresh hop beers found in our region, and they’re available for an extremely limited time. Yakima’s Fresh Hop Ale Festival, which benefits Yakima County–based arts and science organizations, provides a rare opportunity to taste a range of these hyper-seasonal, ephemeral beers in one place before they’re gone. JULIANNE BELL
Saturday, Yakima Valley

Bier on the Pier Past Event Like List
At this two-day festival, quench your thirst with beer from over 40 Pacific Northwest breweries and ciders, and savor food truck offerings as you stroll along the Anacortes pier. Local bands Miller Campbell, Randy Weeks, and Gin Gypsy will provide live music.
Friday-Saturday, Historic Port of Anacortes Warehouse

Leavenworth Oktoberfest Past Event Like List
Since Leavenworth is Washington's Bavarian-style village all year round, we believe them when they say that their Oktoberfest celebration is "the next best thing to Munich." Kicking off with an opening ceremony complete with a keg tapping and an oompah-style marching band dressed in dirndls and lederhosen leading a procession, the festival promises German-style fare like bratwurst and coleslaw, family activities, and enough beer to keep your stein full at all times.
Friday-Saturday, Leavenworth Festhalle

Oktoberfest Northwest Past Event Like List
Enter the indoor Munich and Bavarian Festhalles for an Oktoberfest celebration filled with German-style food, bier, and live entertainment. Families can also enjoy wiener dog races, a Stein Dash 5K or kids' Root Beer Run, and more.

OysterFest Past Event Like List
You can slurp freshly shucked bivalves and quaff wines and microbrews in peace knowing that all the proceeds from this festival will go into the hands of the charities that help host it. There will also be live music, the annual West Coast Oyster Shucking Championships, water quality exhibits, and non-oyster food offerings like garlic shrimp and spring rolls.
Saturday-Sunday, Shelton

Rainier Beer's R Day 2019 Past Event Like List
Join Artist Home and the Georgetown Merchants Association for a celebration of a tried-and-true Northwest standby, Rainier Beer, with live music from Red Fang, Wild Powwers, and Chong the Nomad. They promise a rowdy community mini-fest with plenty of Rainier to drink. This event will also double as a benefit for the Georgetown Merchants Association.

There will be a special focus on young Latinx filmmakers in the US.
Friday-Sunday, Various locations

Social Justice Film Festival Past Event Like List
This film festival highlights fierce and powerful progressive movements around the world. As social justice provides the only throughline, many of the movies have little in common. But the selection skews toward limber, on-the-ground filmmaking in the midst of protests and conflicts. This edition's theme is "Courage." See documentaries about, among other topics, the gospel singer and activist Patrinell, Argentinian teenagers recovering from sexual assault, Native and Indigenous opposition to industrial projects that destroy the environment, fighters against vote suppression, and the Chinese dissident artist Hu Jie.
Friday-Sunday, Various locations

Tacoma Film Festival Past Event Like List

This year, The Stranger's own Charles Mudede will be a juror, and his 2005 film Police Beat (co-directed with Robinson Devor) will be screened on Sunday.
Friday-Sunday, Grand Cinema (Tacoma)

Tasveer South Asian Film Festival Past Event Like List
Seattle is lucky to have one of the largest South Asian-focused film festivals in the world, second only to Toronto. Now in its 14th year, the Tasveer South Asian Film Festival continues with a focus on stories from under-heard communities via a women-geared short film series (dubbed “She Persisted”) plus programming of seven LGBTQ+ movies. Films of note: the Tibetan refugee-driven drama The Sweet Requiem (Fri) and Hira Nabi’s portrait of Pakistani shipbreakers All That Perishes at the Edge of Land (Sat). LEILANI POLK
Friday-Sunday, Various locations

Saturday-Sunday, Seattle Center

CroatiaFest Past Event Like List
The vast Balkan country of Croatia, which lies on the coast of the Adriatic Sea, is rich with tradition. (Fun fact: It was also the breeding place for the first Dalmations.) Learn about its past and present at this festival filled with food, art exhibits, traditional costumes and performances, and a marketplace.
Sunday, Seattle Center

Issaquah Salmon Days Festival Past Event Like List
The salmon of Issaquah might not know it, but their return to the Puget Sound's lakes and streams prompts a full day of free activities in their honor. Head to this annual festival for 250 artists, worldly bites, field-day activities, and live entertainment.
Saturday-Sunday, Veterans Memorial Park (Issaquah)

Seattle Made Week Past Event Like List
Not only do local producers and manufacturers make cool stuff, but they also create jobs and allow our region to rely less on the global economy.

Friday-Saturday, Maris Farms (Buckley)

My Morbid Mind Past Event Like List
Saunter through a creepy old barn curated by "Master of the Macabre" Kevin Noah. The annual haunted house, which started out as a display on Noah's front porch, is replete with several new rooms, animatronics, pneumatics, special effects, and more to freak you out.
Friday-Saturday, 8 Marvin Rd SE (Lacey)

Nile Nightmares Past Event Like List
This elaborate scare begins at the Curse of the Nile, where a sinister pharaoh awaits his next victim. From there, those who escape the tomb can move on to the Ballinger Asylum, through the Ballinger Cemetery, and into the depths of the Infernum (aka the Gates of Hell) before winding up at the 3D Circus and Clown Town Revival.
Friday-Saturday, Nile Shrine Golf Center (Mountlake Terrace)

Stalker Farms Haunted Attractions Past Event Like List

MAJOR CONCERTS

Charli XCX, Brooke Candy Past Event Like List
Essex-raised chart-topper Charli XCX, who got her start on MySpace in 2008, will make you dance after an opening set from Brooke Candy.
Friday, the Showbox (Downtown)

Daniel Nørgren Past Event Like List
Swedish singer-songwriter Daniel Norgren will bring his lovely, melancholy piano melodies and wispy vocals to the Seattle stage.
Friday, Neptune Theatre (University District)

The Growlers Past Event Like List
The surfy, synth-heavy, garagey sound of the Growlers immediately propels you to a bright and sandy beach. The group has been likened to a West Coast version of the Strokes, and it’s easy to see why—lead singer Brooks Nielsen sounds more than a little like Julian Casablancas. Also the band is signed to Casablancas’s Cult Records label. In any case, the Growlers’ version of garage-cum-psychedelia-cum-rock isn’t tired at all. In fact, it’s a little sexy. On their most recent release, Casual Acquaintances, “Last Cabaret” is downright slinky, while “Heaven in Hell” is dusted with reverbed guitar as Nielsen’s smoky voice sails over it all. JASMYNE KEIMIG
Saturday-Sunday, the Showbox (Downtown)

Jidenna Past Event Like List
All right, show of hands: Who first heard Jidenna on Netflix’s Luke Cage? The Wisconsin MC and singer made the most of the show’s live musical guest segment with a minimal rendition of his song “Long Live the Chief.” That tune, the highlight of his debut album, The Chief, goes harder than his otherwise tropical-pop oeuvre. A Janelle Monáe protégé, he pulls both styles off: His earlier single “Classic Man” made waves in 2015, as did his uniquely aristocratic fashion sense. Whether spitting bars or singing Auto-Tuned choruses, Jidenna’s appeal lies in his seemingly endless well of charisma. Few artists sound so self-assured this early in their careers. JOSEPH SCHAEFER
Saturday, Showbox Sodo

Kishi Bashi Past Event Like List
The fourth and latest album from Kaoru Ishibashi (aka Kishi Bashi) is bright, poignant, heartfelt, and infused with a sense of hope, even during its more melancholic moments. From the breezy, acoustic-guitar-picked opening of “Penny Rabbit and Summer Bear” with its Harry Nilsson “Everybody's Talkin'” feel, to the sweeping symphonics and forlorn beauty of “Summer of '42,” to the twangy fiddle-rousing banjo-plucked closer “Annie, Heart Thief of the Sea,” Omoiyari is a stunner that remains uplifting despite its bleak inspiration: the WWII internment of Japanese Americans. It’s also a bit of a departure from Kishi Bashi's previous efforts, folkier while conversely more finely composed and orchestrated, as the Berklee-trained musician (who sings and plays violin primarily, but also guitar and keys) brought in a band and some chamber players to back him up (normally he records mostly solo). Kishi Bashi sold out his last date here in June and has upgraded to roomier digs for his return. LEILANI POLK
Sunday, Showbox Sodo

NF Past Event Like List
Nathan John Feuerstein, better known as NF, will rap about his childhood trauma and his anger issues on this stop on his The Search Tour.
Saturday, WaMu Theater (Sodo)

Tegan and Sara Past Event Like List
Being a queer teen is rough, and there are no rubrics and very few examples of representation to follow, so coming across my older sister’s CD copy of So Jealous was an important moment in my adolescence. Tegan and Sara’s razor-sharp and almost feverishly relatable pop that centered queer experience was the first of its kind in my life and was exactly what I needed at the time. Even now, 13 years later, it still resonates heavily with me. KIM SELLING
Friday, Benaroya Hall (Downtown)

Warner Bros. Studios Presents Bugs Bunny at the Symphony 30th Anniversary Edition Past Event Like List
If you watched the Looney Tunes cartoons as a child, you probably have their music imprinted on your brain. This 30th anniversary program with Seattle Symphony and guest conductor George Daugherty celebrates the most famous characters (Bugs Bunny, obviously, but also Daffy Duck, Elmer Fudd, Wile E. Coyote, and Road Runner) with screen projections while the symphony plays the series’ original scores, which touches on classics like The Rabbit of Seville and Rhapsody Rabbit plus fresh, new Warner Bros. 3D theatrical shorts. Get ready to have your nostalgia tapped. LEILANI POLK
Friday-Sunday, Benaroya Hall (Downtown)

MUSEUM OPENINGS

Maria Phillips: Hidden in Plain Sight Past Event Like List
Instead of being completely paralyzed into inaction by the overwhelming lack of response to climate change and environmental degradation, Seattle artist Maria Phillips is diving head first into interrogating her own consumption habits. Using non-recyclable plastics and single-use items generated by Phillips and her family over the course of nine months, the artist has created a two-part exhibition at BAM. The first part will feature a series of jewelry pieces and small-scale works accompanied with a video installation. The second will be a large-scale, immersive installation that’s meant to confront viewers with the role that plastic has in our everyday life. Spooky, beautiful shit. JASMYNE KEIMIG
Friday-Sunday, Bellevue Arts Museum

Robert Williams: The Father of Exponential Imagination Past Event Like List
The work of Robert Williams is sick, perverse, offensive, violent, erotic, profane, and firmly without any sort of god to speak of. That is also precisely why it is incredible. A technically skilled draftsman, Williams’s works are often psychedelic, depicting an alternate, unhinged reality. He is naughty to the nth degree, hemmed in neither by “good taste” or any type of moral responsibility. In addition to being an artist and comic book illustrator, Williams was also a key figure in the California hot rod scene of the late 1960s. This exhibition coincides with the release of a major new monograph of Williams’s work, published by Fantagraphic Books and due out in November. JASMYNE KEIMIG
Friday-Sunday, Bellevue Arts Museum

PERFORMANCES & READINGS

Austen’s Pride: A New Musical of 'Pride and Prejudice' Past Event Like List
The 5th Avenue Theatre's season begins with Austen's Pride, a quasi-adaptation of Pride and Prejudice that is also about Jane Austen's writing of the novel. Written by Lindsay Warren Baker and Amanda Jacobs, Austen's Pride has been in development for years. It started without Austen in it—but over time, it's become about the author herself. One of the reasons producing artistic director Bill Berry picked it is because "it's about a female character at the center, a woman who is powerful, has agency, is literally forming her own narrative." CHRISTOPHER FRIZZELLE
Friday-Sunday, the 5th Avenue Theatre (Downtown)

Beware the Terror of Gaylord Manor Past Event Like List
The world-famous Seattle-based drag queen BenDeLaCreme has written and performed three acclaimed solo shows, but Beware the Terror of Gaylord Manor, premiered in 2017, was the artist's first foray into writing, directing, and starring in an original play of her own. It's a spooky, campy twist on the horror flick genre, featuring ghosts, dancers, music, and special effects. The chemistry between BenDeLaCreme and Scott Shoemaker alone is worth the price of admission.CHRISTOPHER FRIZZELLE
Saturday-Sunday, ACT Theatre (Downtown)

Carmina Burana + Agon Past Event Like List
Pacific Northwest Ballet kicks off its 47th season by hanging a 26-foot-long, 2,500-pound golden wheel from the ceiling for founding artistic director Kent Stowell's Carmina Burana, a ballet based on a 13th-century medieval poem written by a bunch of saucy Catholic clerics. As a choir belts out one of the most dramatic—if not most played—pieces of classical music, "O Fortuna," more than 100 dancers do their thing beneath the wheel of fortune, embodying fate's random mood swings. PNB pairs this epic dance with George Balanchine's Agon, which Balanchine himself called "the quintessential contemporary ballet," according to press materials. RICH SMITH
Friday-Sunday, McCaw Hall (Seattle Center)

Everything Is Illuminated Past Event Like List
Jonathan Safran Foer’s semi-autobiographical first novel, Everything Is Illuminated, about a man (also named Jonathan Safran Foer) who travels to Ukraine to try to track down the details of his Jewish ancestry, is one of the most brilliant and celebrated novels of the last 20 years. Much of it is narrated by a translator who shows Jonathan around and gets many English words wrong, hilariously. The language of the book is key, and Book-It adaptations always emphasize the language of the original text in a way that other dramatic treatments (and the movie) don’t. CHRISTOPHER FRIZZELLE
Friday-Sunday, Book-It Repertory Theatre (Seattle Center)

Indecent Past Event Like List
When Sholem Asch's searing critique of Orthodox Judaism, God of Vengeance, debuted on Broadway in 1923, the entire cast was arrested and tried for obscenity. They were tried not only because of the play's lesbian kiss—which for some reason didn't disturb the delicate sensibilities of Europeans, who praised the piece for years before it was translated into English—but also because of the rising anti-Semitic and anti-immigrant sentiment in America. Though it was the "roaring twenties," it was also a time when conspiracy theories about Jews controlling the world through theater and banking were peaking. Paula Vogel's Tony Award–winning play dramatizes the history of this show. In a recent interview, the playwright called it "a love letter to theater, a love letter to Yiddish culture, and a plea to every audience member who sees it: Please, please partake in the arts. The arts will see us through to our last days on earth." RICH SMITH
Friday-Sunday, Seattle Repertory Theatre (Seattle Center)

Kate Wallich + the YC with Perfume Genius: The Sun Still Burns Here Past Event Like List
The Sun Still Burns Here is a new live album by Perfume Genius (aka Mike Hadreas) in the form of a Kate Wallich + the YC performance. It's a perfect fusion of Wallich’s cold-blooded rituals and Perfume Genius’s pathos-drenched chamber pop, and it’s like nothing the two artists have ever done before. Perfume Genius isn't just playing music alongside dancers. Hadreas and the rest of the band have full-on dancing roles, each one with its own character arc. And yet Wallich and her dance company, the YCs, aren't merely backup dancers for Perfume Genius. Each of the dancers in the YCs appears to be on their own journey, variously embodying the music, disregarding the music, or creating the music themselves. The project represents growth for all the artists involved. It's Wallich and the YCs' fifth evening-length performance, and their experience is starting to show. Each dancer is dancing better than they ever have. And Wallich's juxtapositions of the high and low dance vocabularies—combining Janet Jackson moves with Pina Bausch moods—really works.RICH SMITH
Friday-Saturday, Moore Theate (Belltown)

Patti Smith Past Event Like List
Did the world begin to collapse in 2016 because corporate greed reached its zenith as political courage reached its nadir, or because it was the Year of the Monkey in the Chinese zodiac? Mystic punk rocker Patti Smith investigates in Year of the Monkey. Listen, Patti Smith is a legend, her album Horses rules, and the writing here is good and full of a genuine curiosity about the world. But the book elicited two major responses from me: the occasional sagacious nod, and eye rolls that hit with concussive force. For Smith, the world's serendipitous events and strange associations seem to be little clues to the great detective story that is life, but they're also just errant equations that prove the inherent chaos of the world. The tension, then—charged with the grab-bag spirituality that characterizes so much boomer bullshit—is this: Will Smith find some sense of personal narrative closure in her life or will she eventually die feeling uncomfortable with the unknown? RICH SMITH
Sunday, Benaroya Hall (Downtown)

Zombie Cheerleaders from Hell Past Event Like List
The Heavenly Spies are back with their annual Halloween show featuring scary hot dancers—plus "terrifying masks and pretty pasties, black cats and twerking booties, sweet transvestites and dancing cuties."
Friday-Sunday, Can Can (Downtown)
