Seattle's Authentic Food Festival - Free Admission and Family Fun! 

June 4 through 30 - Ebb Pate and Rachel Muller -
Rachel Muller presents “Inspired by Ancient Egypt” with pieces reminiscent of the surviving art from tombs and monuments.
Ebb Pate states In “A Vision Beyond”,” Since coming to the Northwest 30 years ago, I have been continually inspired by the natural beauty of where we live, and strive to express my awe through my landscapes.”

June through September - Robert E Gigliotti, Guest Sculptor.
Art is a yearning for immortality and, as such, can become a method to challenge people’s paradigms and reveal that All Is One. Art is bigger than the sum of it’s parts. The great American philosopher, Ken Wilber, said that the goal of great art is the revelation of non dual spirit. Non dual spirit means that not only are we connected but we are literally One. Quantum physics can demonstrate this. My art is an attempt to illustrate this visually. By removing elements from a scene that the mind expects to be there creates space for new insights.  www.parklanegallery.org

Welcome to Seattle’s popular 17th of May Celebration, a.k.a. Syttende Mai [Soot-n-duh My].

Parade units and marchers check-in station near Adams school, corner of 28th and 62nd NW. The parade begins at the corner of NW 62nd and 24th Avenue NW. The route follows south to Market Street and eastward to Bergen Place park, then turns right onto 22nd and continues south down Ballard Avenue and ends at Lone St.

Substation, Seattle’s premiere underground music venue, will be hosting a higher consciousness, jam band night featuring four sets of music by three of the Pacific Northwest’s most mind melting acts. Featuring The High Council, OSO and Caveman Ego

The High Council will be playing two full sets. From the heart of the Evergreen State, The High Council explores the boundaries of melody and groove. With a blend of transcendent improvisation and earthy rock sensibilities, THC draws on elements of jazz, reggae, rock and psychedelia.

They will be joined by OSO, a band that was formed in Bellingham, Wa in 2014. Oso has developed a unique sound through improvisation, experimentation, and song writing. Primarily focusing on “the space between” OSO fuses jam, funk, rock, folk, trance, and disco sounds for a truly creative sonic journey into the mind.

Playing support will be Caveman Ego, a progressive funk rock outfit from Seattle, Washington. Formed in 2014, the band melds their love of classic rock, funk, and jazz into a unique genre that can only be described as “prehistoric anti-structural cave jams.”
