This Tuesday, August 2nd, is Night Out across neighborhoods in Seattle. Night Out is a national Crime Prevention event to raise crime prevention awareness, increase neighborhood anti-crime efforts, and unite communities. Neighbors can also celebrate community and meet and greet new and old neighbors alike. Anyone can register for Night Out and get neighborhood streets closed for parties and get-togethers – but do so by the Monday, August 1st deadline.
Uptown neighbors have come together for a second Uptown Counterculture event that coincides with Night Out. This Tuesday, from 5pm to 8pm, all are welcome to attend the family-friendly event at Counterbalance Park.
What can you expect at the event? Entertainment, games, a clothing exchange, and activities featuring a number of Uptown organizations. Plus, live music from Andre Feriante, classical guitarist, and Steve O’Brien, trumpeter – both pictured below. Both musicians will perform separate music sets on Tuesday to make the event even more festive and focused on the arts.
The last Uptown Counterculture event was held earlier this Spring, it’s an event worth checking out! A great way to celebrate Night Out, meet neighbors, and take in some tunes.
Here’s an updated list of activities planned for Tuesday:
• giant Jenga
• giant Scrabble
• Triple Toss
• map of Uptown—mark your favorite spots
• community quilt making
• a kid’s sandbox
• sidewalk chalk
• POP UP Bike Pops for sale
• Free food samples from neighborhood restaurants
