South Lake Union Block Party
Recommended
Every year, South Lake Union throws itself a party featuring diverse musical pleasures from local bands (this year's lineup includes the Dandy Warhols, Naked Giants, Whitney Mongé, Polyrhythmics, and Sisters). There will also be food trucks, a beer garden, a free print-your-own-poster station, a "letterpress steamroller smackdown," and a "Community Village" featuring booths from local businesses. The event is co-sponsored by Amazon and will benefit FareStart, a James Beard Award-winning nonprofit that aims to empower people experiencing homelessness through job training and employment in the foodservice industry.
