Unity Fair returns. We’ve called it the start of Capitol Hill summer (Image: Dave Lichterman for CHS)
Seattle Central College hosts the 10th annual Unity Fair on Thursday, 10am – 4pm. The fair is free and open to the public and “celebrates diversity through live music, food, dance, games, booths, a Treasure hunt game, a showcase of Traditional fashions from all over the world.” The Flavr Blue plays at 12:30 PM, we’re told.
Music fans not going to Sasquatch may enjoy the 5th annual Rain Fest at Neumos, with bands in the “hardcore” genre lined up to play Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
The west coast premier of a new play, queerSpawn, opens at Eclectic Theater on Friday. The “playful” storyline follows a “heterosexual cisgendered teenage boy with lesbian mothers who struggles with surviving high school in a small town.”
Thursday night, you can get involved with important neighborhood issues as the Capitol Hill Community Council meets at 6:30 PM at the Cal Anderson Shelterhouse. CHS wrote here about the group’s call for new leaders — and its outsized impact at City Hall. Thursday also brings the monthly meeting of the East Precinct Advisory Council. Meeting details here.
Also Thursday, you can catch the Capitol Hill web series on the big screen at Central Cinema.
Saturday, head to 14th and Pine with the kids to take advantage of free Family Day activities at storefronts between the 13th and 14th blocks of Pine, 10am – 3pm.
Lucky Them
The Seattle International Film Festival continues through June 8 at the Egyptian Theatre and the Harvard Exit theater on Capitol Hill. (There are screenings at other theaters in town too, but who cares about those? jk) Of particular interest to hillites is the Megan Griffiths flick Lucky Them, much of which was filmed around the neighborhood last spring and summer. You can catch the final SIFF screening of Lucky Them at the Egyptian on Friday.
