Fall is in full swing and it looks like it's going to be a wet weekend, but don't let that wash away your plans to do something fun. 

If you are wishing the rain would turn to snow so you can hit the slopes, you'll want to check out Snowvana 2024. It's the first time this event is coming to Seattle and will be your chance to gear up for the ski/snowboard season, not only with a ski swap and new and used equipment, but plenty of vendors will be offering deals on trip packages, lift tickets and more. There will also be movie screenings, a beer garden and plenty more. This is going down at the Magnuson Park Hanger and you can get details and tickets at snowvana.com

It began yesterday but throughout the weekend at a couple of venues, the Tasveer Film Festival and Market. The event describes itself as the only South Asian Oscar Qualifiying Film Festival and features movie screenings, panels, and lots more. You can get details at tasveer.org

Halloween fun is coming to Tacoma this weekend! In the McKinley Hill District tomorrow at 2, there will be a street fair with live music and vendors, a parade at 6:30 and a costume contest! This is the first time this event has been held, so why not go start a new spooky season tradition! Get more details at tacomahalloweenparade.com. The Haunted Farmer's Market in Tacoma also continues this weekend as well! 

If odd things make you a little curious, then you'll want to head to the Seattle Oddities and Curiosities Expo 2024. This event is for all ages, runs Saturday and Sunday, and will have vendors showing off taxidermy, preserved specimens, artwork, jewelry and tons more! Perfect place to do some shopping ahead of Halloween, as the website says, they have something weird for everyone at the show! Check out odditiesandcuriositiesexpo.com for more details 

The Occidental Square Trading post returns Saturday from 11-4. Over 40 vendors will be selling vintage items, home goods and plenty more. The event is free and as usual, food trucks will be on site to keep you fed. 

It's the final home game of the season for the Seattle Reign FC on Saturday and that means it is fan appreciation day! There will be giveaways and more celebrations during the match. You can details and tickets at reignfc.com 

Here's an event sent to me by a listener!

The Maple Valley Model Train Show is Saturday and Sunday at the Gracie Hansen community center. See impressive displays of model trains from railroad clubs. There's a play area for kids featuring Thomas the Tank Engine, a personal favorite of mine, and there will be an exhibit from the Black Diamond Historical Museum that focuses on mining and logging. There will be food trucks on site as well, and cash donations are suggested. 

Get out and enjoy the fall fun and as always  if you know of even more cool things going on in the area, Let me know at PaulH@kiroradio.com
