The weekend is here and so is spooky season! Looks like we are in for a wet start to the weekend, but that shouldn't dampen your plans

I want to start with an event sent to me from a listener:

It's the 43rd annual Oysterfest in Shelton! Saturday and Sunday there will be shucking competitions, plenty of seafood (and other tasty treats), mini golf, touch tanks and plenty more. There will be folks camping up on site as well for those looking for a weekend full of Oysters! Get more details and tickets at oysterfest.org, but I was told that Sunday is family day,  children 17 and under admitted free and there will be discounted tickets for active duty military on Sunday as well. 

It's not the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown, it's the 20th annual Great Pumpkin Beer Festival! This is going down today and tomorrow at the Seattle Center and tickets are required. There will be 80 types of Pumpkin Beer on Tap, a costume contest, a fortune teller and lots more! Get tickets and details at elysianbrewing.com

There's another Oktoberfest this weekend, this time down at the Washington State Fairgrounds! All your favorite food and beers will be there as well has Hammerschlagen, weiner dog races and a Bier-Lympics! This is going on all weekend long, get tickets and details at thefair.com. Oktoberfest also begins in Leavenworth this weekend as well! Celebrations will be going on the next three weekends! Get details at leavenworth.org 

A big addition to the Waterfront in Seattle is finally here! The Overlook walk opens to the public at 4:30 tonight and to celebrate there will be food, music and more entertainment! Come see why this new bridge is much more than that and experience a new change to downtown Seattle. There will be firepits, so you'll be able to keep warm while enjoying the views. 

Saturday is the Fife Harvest Fest from 10-4. Admission is free and there will be plenty of things for you to do with the kids, including bounce houses, carnival games, a tractor maze, petting zoo, hay rides and tons more! There will be free corn on the cob from the Fife City Council as well as live music and magicians! For the adults, there will be ax throwing and a mechanical bull to ride, as well as plenty of vendors to support. Get more details at fifewa.gov 

Get into the Halloween spirit with the Halloween Pet Parade at Volunteer Park! You and your four legged friends can show off your costumes and compete for prizes while enjoying live music, crafts, vendors and food trucks. This is going down on Sunday from 11-2 and details can be found at volunteerparktrust.org 

Sunday at the Seattle Center it is CroatiaFest, as the Festal program continues. This event is free to attend and will highlight areas of Croatian culture such as food, music and dancing, and you can even get help with passports, visas and other official government documents from the Croatian Consulate. Get more details at seattlecenter.org 

These are just some of the fun things going on this weekend as celebrations of fall begin! As always if you know of even more cool things going on in the area, Let me know at PaulH@kiroradio.com
