On the List | Melrose Market turns 5, Taco Truck Challenge, Indie Bookstore Day, Pedaler’s Fair

Posted on by

Holy smokes. Capitol Hill is set to achieve summer-level entertainment this weekend. Lucky you to be here to enjoy it.

  • First, don’t forget Thursday’s Dining Out for Life with 45 Capitol Hill venues donating proceeds to support Lifelong.
  • You can celebrate Capitol Hill’s Melrose Market as the locally-focused retail and food project celebrates its fifth year Saturday:
    Come out to celebrate the past 5 and many more with all of us at Melrose Market. We will be scraping Raclette nachos for the crowds, and our neighbors will be offering their own goodies as a token of customer appreciation. YUM!
  • The Taco Truck Challenge returns to Volunteer Park Saturday for a day of outdoor gluttony via tortilla.
  • Or you can enjoy a day at the racetrack and a few mint juleps as Bottleneck Lounge hosts its Eighth Annual Kentucky Derby Party on Saturday afternoon.
  • Believe it or not, some of the weekend’s events have nothing to do with food. Celebrate Free Comic Book Day (and their second anniversary) at Phoenix Comics. Meanwhile, Elliott Bay Book Company is part of a new Independent Bookstore Day celebration.
  • For all you yacht owners in the audience — and the people that love them — the 2015 Seattle Yacht Club Opening Day Parade begins at noon Saturday. There will also be helicopters, by the way.
  • Let’s say you don’t want to buy anything including a yacht — and a night of poetry and circus performance. The Seattle Poetry Slam is Saturday at Town Hall while 12th Ave Arts hosts Company Cirque en Déroute’s The Really Weird Cabaret on Friday night.
  • You can also pedal over to Saturday’s 2015 Pedaler’s Fair at the Russian Community Center:
    Pedaler’s Fair is an annual marketplace for Washington based, bicycle-inspired small businesses to exhibit their goods. In its first year, Pedaler’s Fair hosted 23 exhibitors and received over 1,000 guests. In addition to exhibitor booths we had live music, workshops and presentations. We are currently working on bringing you the 3rd annual Pedaler’s Fair, with even more family friendly events, tutorials, workshops and presentations, in addition to all of our fantastic vendors.
