There’s loads to do around the city and on the hill this weekend!

Saturday, September 26 events and festivities:

Tomorrow is The Smithsonian’s Museum Day 2009. Print your admission ticket here, and check out participating museums in Seattle for free! EMP|SFM is one of the many places you can enjoy for no cost all day tomorrow!

Don’t miss free public art/performance at the Fremont Bridge from 1-4 p.m. tomorrow. You might just catch a show while you’re on the way to one of the free museum excursions!

The Fishermen’s Fall Festival is also happening tomorrow, from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. at Fisherman’s Terminal. Bring your sea-faring appetite and sense of adventure!

Seattle Pacific University students will be volunteering on two sites in Queen Anne (and several more around the city) from 10:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. tomorrow as part of their CityQuest orientation program. Details here.

The Seattle AIDS Walk kicks off at 9 a.m. tomorrow at Volunteer Park in Capitol Hill.

Check out the Sustainable Ballard Festival from noon to 5 p.m. both Saturday and Sunday, in – you guessed it – Ballard.

The Saint Demetrios Greek Festival is another all weekend event in Montlake, Saturday 10:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Sunday noon to 7 p.m.

Tomorrow is also the last day to get ridiculously cheap goods as the Upper Queen Anne Blockbuster, which will officially close its doors for good at 9 p.m. on Saturday.

And don’t worry about tomorrow morning’s scheduled power outage. If you haven’t been notified by the city, you won’t lose power.

Sunday, September 27 events and festivities:

Sustainable Ballard Festival, noon to 5 p.m. and Saint Demetrios Greek Festival noon to 7 p.m.

Mayoral candidate Mike McGinn is hosting a town hall meeting at the Magnolia Community Center at 4 p.m. Sunday. Information here.

And don’t forget, there’s a Seattle Seahawks game against the Chicago Bears at 1:05 p.m. at Qwest Field. 70,000 are expected to attend, so look out for pre and post-game traffic!

Have a happy weekend! And remember there are traffic-causing lane closures starting Monday.
