Summer Streets, fresh produce, live music and working in the park this weekend in Greenwood-Phinney Ridge

The weekend gets underway with a bang tonight with the monthly Artwalk and the annual Summer Streets happening simultaneously. Greenwood Avenue North will be closed to cars from North 67th to 87th streets so people can play in the streets. Check out the map of all the activities happening – including whiffle ball, hula hooping, live music, live painting, free electric bike rides, children’s obstacle course, coffee tasting contest, art fair, circus performers and aerial artists, dancing demonstrations, and a doggie wedding.

74th and Greenwood was packed at last year’s Summer Streets.
Plus, the Phinney Farmers Market at the Phinney Neighborhood Association will be open an extra hour, until 8 p.m., and bring a can of food and help the Greenwood Food Bank build Seattle’s largest can food pyramid, in front of Ken’s Market at 73rd and Greenwood.
