The week of March 6–12 around Seattle promises to be busy: from intimate concerts and free symphony performances to large-scale festivals — Emerald City Comic Con and Tacoma Beer Week — family fairs and premieres at the city's top theaters. The lineup includes atmospheric Candlelight evenings, food and wine tours, Lunar New Year street celebrations and big shows at Climate Pledge Arena, as well as free art-walk evenings and short-film screenings. Plan your evenings in advance — many popular events sell out quickly, and some (like free concerts and festivals) require arriving early. Sources and detailed links to events are from events12.com.
