The entirely underground, extremely media-shy Santarchy pub crawl – or SantaCon as it is being called now – will sprawl throughout Fremont on Saturday, December 18, starting at Noon at the Fremont Troll. The official itinerary has the hoard visiting Dad Watson’s, Dubliner, Red Door, Brouwer’s, Norm’s, Nectar, Sinners & Saints, and the George & Dragon Pub.
Plenty of family fun going on in Fremont this holiday season, with shows at Stone Soup (A Child’s Christmas In Wales), Hale’s Palladium (Red Riding Hood & The 3 Little Pigs), and the Dance Fremont performance of Steadfast Tin Soldier going on this weekend. Yet, there will also be a special something-something for the adults among us.
On December 11 & 12th, over 70 performers from Dance Fremont will stage a traditional holiday ballet, The Steadfast Tin Solider: A Story Ballet, based on a story by Hans Christian Andersen. Performances take place at the Shorecrest Performing Arts Center (15343 – 25th Avenue N.E.) at 2p and 7:30p on Saturday, December 11, and 2p on Sunday, December 12. Tickets can be reserved at 206/633-0812 x 3, or purchased at the theater, and cost $15 general admission, children under 12 cost $12.
On Friday, November 3rd, the Fremont community once again observes its odd twist on holiday celebrations with the now annual Lenin Lighting at 5p, in “Red Triangle” at 3526 Fremont Avenue North.
On Tuesday, November 30, 2010, from 6p – 7:30p at the Fremont Branch of the Seattle Public Library (731 N 35th) the community is encouraged to attend a public meeting on upcoming construction plans to update the Fremont Siphon, 100-year-old wastewater pipelines located west of the Fremont Bridge under the Lake Washington Ship Canal.
On Wednesday, November 24, 2010 enjoy a Honky Tonk evening of dancing and Hank Williams music at Hale’s Palladium (4301 Leary Way NW.)
For the 2010 Lenin Lighting, the Fremont Chamber of Commerce and the Fremont First Friday Art Walk have organized a short notice ‘Call For Artists’ to find a lighting design. Each year, the Fremont Chamber strings lights on the 8-ton bronze statue of Vladimir Lenin that stands in “Red Triangle” in front of Royal Grinders (3526 Fremont Place N).
On Friday, November 19th, from 10a – 2p, volunteers are needed to help the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers plant hundreds of plants along the north side of the Lake Washington Ship Canal. All tools will be provided, and no experience is necessary. Volunteers can meet at the Dinosaur Topiaries on the Burke-Gilman Trail (at North 34th St and Phinney Avenue North.)
On Tuesday, November 16th, at 6p, the Fremont Arts Council will host the first committee meeting to discuss the 2010 Winter Feast. The Feast is an art installation, party and community building event all-in-one. It is also, usually, an invitation only celebration – and one proven way to get an invite is by helping ‘build’ the Feast.
On the nights of Friday, November 12th, and Saturday, November 13th, the resident dance company of the Fremont Abbey Arts Center – Karin Stevens Dance – will perform. Both dance performances feature live music accompaniment by the Starry Night Chamber Orchestra, and take place in the great hall of Fremont Abbey (4272 Fremont Ave N)
