On Sunday, June 26th, the doors open at 7p, as local artists gather to perform a tribute concert for Ron Davies, the talented song writer who passed away. The show also launches the release of a CD of 18 of Davies’ songs, recorded by fans and friends. The concert, at Hale’s Palladium (4301 Leary Way NW,) will feature the considerable talents of many local musicians and performers.
This Friday night, June 17th, starting at 9p, you can witness the most amazing spectacle ever – the Solstice Parade in reverse! The floats that will be on-display during the parade on Saturday at Noon need to be moved into place – they are big, they are heavy, and many hands make light work. Plus, it’s a great way to help the parade, and get a sneak peek!
On Saturday, June 18th, the Fremont Arts Council Solstice Parade will roll down the fair streets of Fremont, starting at Noon. One outstanding place for viewing – for those who have chosen not to be in the parade – will be at History House (790 N 34th.) For Victory Music will host concerts in the covered sculpture garden courtyard of the museum before and after the parade.
You can go sit and watch the Solstice Parade, at Noon, on Saturday, June 18th – or you can participate! Why be passive when you can be an active part of this incredible experience? Imagine being a part of it all! Questions? Contact volunteers@fremontartscouncil.org if you need more details on how to get involved.
Midnight on Thursday, June 9th is the deadline for on-line registration for runners (or walkers) in the 2011 Fremont Fun Run 5K. Pre-registration, on-line, costs only $30. Registration will be possible the night of the race – starting at 4:30p on Friday, June 10th – but at a cost of $40 per runner.
Less than two weeks left to the Fremont Arts Council Solstice Parade, and a stroll past the Powerhouse (3940 Fremont Ave N) will offer plenty of opportunities to, “Here, hold this!”
While watching the Fremont Arts Council (FAC) Solstice Parade is nifty-keen, being a part of building this incredible piece of celebration art will provide rush beyond description. Perhaps best of all, a contribution can be large or very, very small.
Again this year, Frame Up Studios will sell the fabulous Fremont Fair posters (before, during and after the festival) to raise money for Solid Ground, and their programs to end poverty through building community.
On this 2011 Memorial Day, the Fremocentrist would like to take a moment to say ‘Thank You!’ to the generous men and women who give of their time and talent (and, unfortunately, sometimes their lives) to serve in our military.
FrogFrog now provides a chance to check out some Seattle Art Cars. Take a look at the photos collected so far – then compare them in person by visiting the Fremont Street Fair on June 18th & 19th, and the Seattle Art Car Blowout!
