The reFresh Southwest Festival and Delridge Day event is happening today, June 5 from 1 to 5 at 4501 Delridge Way S.W. featuring 55 exhibitors, live music (as well as DJ driven tunes), workshops on the arts and the environment, and much more.
The West Seattle Herald booth will be at the northeast corner of the exhibition area. Stop by and say hello and pick up a FREE copy of our local environmental guide, The Green Book.

FAMILY ACTIVITIES

Tents will be set up for families to enjoy the festival: a photo booth, face painting, Henna Extravaganza, bubbles, potato sack races, and a jumpy tent are just a few of the features that will be offered for free throughout the day. The Austin Foundation will also offer a fun obstacle course for kids to get active and learn more about exercise.

URBAN FARM WORKSHOPS

City chickens, bees, a worm bin, and maybe even a goat? Come check out what's possible when city and farm collide, and learn more about your ability to grow, cultivate, and be more sustainable as a Seattle resident. Sustainable West Seattle will host featured stations and speakers throughout the day.

CREATIVE ARTS WORKSHOPS

From Brazillian to break dancing, found materials craft tables and theater classes, Refresh Southwest offers a multitude of hands-on, intensive arts workshops for participants of all ages. Teaching artists come from Arts Corps, Nature Consortium and Youngstown's ALL ACCESS Classes. Creative arts workshops will run all day in the Delridge Community Center.
