Usually held on the second Tuesday of each month, at the Powerhouse (3940 Fremont Ave N) starting at 7:10pm-ish, this month the meeting will take place – same place and time – on Tuesday, February 21st.

For the first time in many years, the Fremont Arts Council (FAC) will sell tickets to their singular Winter Solstice Feast celebration. Traditionally only volunteers who participated in creating this evening of food, music and art were allowed to attend. This year a very limited number of tickets have been made available for purchased – in advance only – through Brown Paper Tickets.
While it may sound like a lot – 200 tickets – the Moisture Festival New Year’s Eve party at Hale’s Palladium is likely to sell out. Get tickets today!
