It is beautiful out right now and a perfect way to start your summer would be to attend the Fremont Fair. It is going on today and tomorrow. The SeattlePI.com has an article “Come one, come all to welcome summer with Fremont's goofy parade and fair” that talks about some of what you will find there--"an eclectic mix of art, music, crafts and people."
The parade starts at noon today and begins at Northwest 36th Street and Third Avenue Northwest, heads east to Northwest 35th Street and Fremont Avenue North, south on Fremont, then east on Northwest 34th Street to Gasworks Park. (Do note that the parade it is known for naked bicyclists participating.
There is music today from 10:45 a.m. - 8:00 p.m. this evening and from 10:45 a.m.- 6:30 tomorrow, and if you check out the first link it names who the performers are and what time they will be playing.
They would like a $1.00 donation and all money collected goes towards Solid Ground (formerly the Fremont Public Association).
What Solid Ground believes...
• Our community has the resources, will and ability to end poverty.
• All people have the right to food, shelter, social justice and opportunities.
• Racism perpetuates poverty. To end poverty, we must undo racism.
We believe that together, we can build a community free from poverty, prejudice and neglect in which all members stand on Solid Ground with the skills and confidence needed to achieve their dreams.
For more than three decades, Solid Ground has helped our most vulnerable community members overcome economic crises and develop the skills and resources they need to thrive. We are proactive in our approach to ending poverty, meeting emerging community needs head-on and addressing them through innovative solutions. Our 30 programs have helped hundreds of thousands of people break the cycle of poverty.
Solid Ground began in 1974 as the Fremont Public Association, operating food, clothing and job banks in one of Seattle’s then poorest neighborhoods. Our programs expanded to meet emerging needs throughout the region, and today we are one of the most comprehensive human service agencies in King County.
Our mission is steadfast: to achieve a just and caring community free from poverty, prejudice and neglect. Compassion and respect for all people are our highest values."
