t's a long holiday weekend, and the weather might not be the summer kickoff we were hoping for, but never fear! There's still plenty to do.

It's the World's Longest Garage Sale on Long Beach Peninsula. You'll want to put on your best walking shoes as you walk along the coast looking for cool trinkets and more. The sale runs all weekend long. 

If you are looking to catch some tunes this weekend the concert slate is LOADED. Portugal the Man is at Remlinger Farms on Friday. Also on Friday, Girl and Girl is live at Easy Street records, Billy Joel is at T Mobile Park and if you can find second hand tickets, the Young Fresh Fellows is at the Tractor Tavern.

The event will be celebrating 25 years of Massive Monkees with a variety of dancing competitions. There will be Breakin battles, footwork battles, open style battles and more.

Sometimes you have to ask yourself the tough questions like... what's a better reward a donut or a beer? On Saturday in Ballard it is the Mighty-O Tour de Donut. This ride will take you around the city with stops in Ballard, Greenlake, Cap Hill and Denny Triangle. For each stop you make, you will be rewarded with a free donut and drip coffee, or a mini donut and a kid's drink if you are a youngin. If beer is more your motivator, the Tour De Pints is for you. The ride is described as 20ish miles and starts at Flying Bike Brewery. The rest of the stops are a mystery and reveled as you go along. A note if you do want to check out Tour De Pints, helmets are REQUIRED so make sure you strap that brain bucket on before you ride.

There will be art and music and that's just scratching the surface. Get more details and a full schedule of events on nwfolklife.org
