Here’s what’s happening in Greenwood and Phinney Ridge this weekend. Check our Events calendar any time for more.
Phinney Farmers Market is from 3:30-7:30 p.m. Friday in the upper parking lot of the Phinney Neighborhood Association, 6532 Phinney Ave. N. Fresh veggies, fruit, bread, flowers, beer, wine, cider, meat, cheese and lots more, plus several dining options.
About 40,000 people are expected to descend on Greenwood Avenue on Saturday for the annual Greenwood Car Show, which will bring more than 700 classic cars, vintage hydroplanes, antique fire trucks and police cars and more rumbling through the neighborhood. Traffic and parking will, obviously, be nutty, so be patient and enjoy the gorgeous vehicles and fun people watching. As part of the Car Show, the Greenwood Senior Center is having a fundraising pancake breakfast, Winderemere Realty is hosting a beer garden for charity, Naked City Brewer is hosting its annual Beer Can Derby (and Root Beer Can Derby for the kids), and FamilyWorks is collection donations of non-perishable food and cash for the Greenwood Food Bank. See our Car Show post from Wednesday for complete details.
