Must See
It’s Time for Outdoor Cinema!

(7/9 to 7/21, dusk) Summer in Seattle means outdoor cinema, so pull your picnic blanket up to any of the neighborhood series. Here are a few of our flick picks for the week: Office Space (7/9) at Redhook Brewery’s Moonlight Cinema series in Woodinville and a Christmas-in-July showing of Elf (7/10) at Fremont Outdoor Cinema.

Must Return to Oz
Wicked on Stage at the Paramount

(Through 8/2, times vary) Channel your inner Glinda for the return of Wicked, the Broadway hit musical that fills in the back story of the Wicked Witch of the West and Glinda the Good, long before Dorothy and Toto hit the yellow brick road.

Free outdoor music abounds around the city this month. Choose the music lineup over the lutefisk at Ballard SeafoodFest, especially with local favorites Pickwick, Moondoggies and My Goodness in the mix (7/11–7/12). The Cave Singers and Kithkin hit the stage at West Seattle Summer Fest (7/10–7/12), and The Maldives play at Westlake Park (7/10) during one of many downtown Out to Lunch Concerts.
