The second ten days of June in Seattle promise a busy week — from cozy candlelight concerts in historic buildings and classic rock at the Paramount Theatre to laughs at Seattle Repertory Theatre with The Play That Goes Wrong and international contemporary dance at the Seattle International Dance Festival. Street‑fair and market fans will find entertainment at Art Walks, Columbia City and the Pike Place Night Market, while family weekends are filled with Maple Valley Days, the Edmonds Arts Festival and many farmers’ celebrations and outdoor festivals. For those who prefer active recreation, there are dragon boat races, free entry days at national and state parks, summer concerts at Marymoor and the Locks, plus sailing and river cruises on Elliott Bay and the lakes. A detailed list of events and schedules can be found on the city listings and local announcements. Source: https://www.events12.com/seattle/
