Happy Friday and welcome back to the weekend. 

Fall is in the air this weekend and to celebrate you can head to Green Lake for a parade. The Luminata is Saturday night at 7:30 and features a short walk and tons of custom lanterns! There have been workshops throughout the month for folks to make their own lanterns for the event,  but if you missed out on those, the lantern workshop will open at 5:30 PM. The workshop and starting point of the parade will be right around the Green Lake Boathouse. 

It's the final weekend of the Washington State Fair! It's your last chance for all your favorite fair food and rides. Get tickets and details of what's going on at the fairgrounds at thefair.com 

Oktoberfest has arrived in Fremont this weekend for what they call on their website Seattle's biggest beer festival. Over 100 different types of beer will be available to try, as well as live music, food and a couple of friendly competitions! See how strong you are during the Stein hosting contest or watch chainsaw wielding pumpkin carvers create one of a kind pumpkin art. Fremont Oktoberfest runs today through Sunday and if you have a four legged friend who wants to join in on the fun, Sunday is Dogtoberfest! Get more details and tickets at fremontoktoberfest.com 

Does Oktoberfest get you in the mood for Brats? What about Brats for a cause? The Great Wallingford Brautwurst Festival is today and tomorrow at St. Benedict School. This will have all your festival favorites, live music from local bands, a beer garden, but this is FAMILY event, so that means bouncey houses, games at the Fun Zone, a shop for sweets and more. Get more details by searching Wallingford Bratwurst Festival on Facebook. 

Few things are better on the weekend than an ice cold Rainer, at least for me. It's more than just an adult beverage for some, it's a lifestyle and that is on full display during R Day. The lineup includes live music, your chance to find and buy cool Rainer merch, both new and vintage, and there's even going to be an arcade! This is taking place Saturday in Georgetown and no ticket is required! 

Head out with the kids and learn about the world of urban agriculture at the Farm Fest at Rainer Beach Urban Farm and Wetlands! This  informative event will teach people about urban agriculture, offer a variety of crafts to make and food and cooking classes! This event is free and open to the public. You can get more details at tilthalliance.org

Here's a couple of events sent to me by some listeners!
