Love free live music? Love listening to blues and jazz outdoors on a sunny Sunday? If yes, you might want to head to Freeway Park on any of the Sundays from now through August 26th between 2 and 4 pm. There’s even a beer garden if you’re inclined to imbibe. See details here.

Events on the Canal
This Sunday the 30th Heron Habitat Helpers will be at Commodore Park with telescopes. If you’d like to watch great blue herons tending to their chicks in the rookery this is a great time to go. The event is from noon to 1:30 pm and naturalists will be on hand to provide info and answer questions. I think they’ll be set up in the west section near the parking lot.
Starting on May 28th the free outdoor music concerts will begin at the Ballard Locks. The concerts are held near the Visitor Center most Saturdays and Sundays through September 16th. July 4th this year marks the centennial of the locks, so there will be a lot going on this summer. See this page for more details.
Fishermen’s Fall Festival
Last week I posted my preview for Fishermen’s Terminal. One of the annual events held there is the upcoming Fishermen’s Fall Festival, and it looks like a lot of fun. This year it will take place on Saturday, September 24th from 11 am to 6 pm.
