San Gennaro Festival 2023 Past Event Like List
This Georgetown Italian street fair brings together the best in local Italian cuisine with live music, a vendor market, and family-friendly entertainment. If you close your eyes and ignore the architecture (and the language), you can almost imagine yourself at a market in Italy, eating delicious food amid the daily bustle. The procession of San Gennaro (the patron saint of Naples) is a hallmark of the festival, and will kick off Saturday morning. You can even register your kids for a chance to sing on stage with past winners of the Italian song competition show, Zecchino D'Oro. SHANNON LUBETICH

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 9

Harvest Home Past Event Like List
It's time once again to wrap yourself up in fuzzy sweaters and scarves, watch Over the Garden Wall, and engage in idyllic seasonal activities—may we suggest participating in a cider pressing with apples harvested from Fort Nisqually Living History Museum's own orchard? You'll get to help decorate the hock cart (used for the final harvest of the year) and witness the crowning of a Harvest King and Queen. Alternatively, help build a scarecrow for the museum to keep pests at bay, or show off your homesteading prowess by entering your own homemade preserves into a Jam and Jelly Competition.
Fort Nisqually Living History Museum, 11 am-5 pm

SPECIALS

Ben's Bread Co. Like List
If you share my passion for the buttery baked cheese snack crackers Cheez-Its (the apotheosis of processed food, in my opinion), you'll be glad to know that the pop-up-turned-bakery Ben's Bread is now serving up their own scratch-made version, cleverly dubbed "Cheez-Isn'ts," for a limited time. Theirs are made with Tillamook cheddar, Villa Jerada cayenne, Shepherd's Grain flour, and Ethos Bakery & Cafe Hollis white wheat flour.

Spice Waala
The Indian street food spot's soft serve flavor of the month is pistachio cardamom, inspired by pistachio kulfi. They also revealed a new Desi pizza special featuring focaccia-style dough topped with butter chicken or butter paneer—sadly, it's already sold out twice, so you'll have to wait to try it (unless you're one of the lucky few who snagged a pre-order).
