The West Seattle Art Walk is doing something extra special for the July 12th Art Walk, also known as Summer Fest eve! They issued a call for artists to create chalk art on the streets in the Junction and have selected 11 artists. Here's a sampling of the artwork of the artists you'll meet this Thursday. Artists will be laying down chalk from 6-9pm. There will also be chalk for kids to color the streets.
Also happening during Art Walk is the popular Bubbleman. Check out all the bubbly fun at the intersection of California Ave SW and SW Alaska St 6:30 PM
While you're in the streets for Art Walk, make sure you swing by the West 5 for their 15 Year Anniversary. The Yada Yada Big Band will be throwing down some tasty tunes 7 PM to 9 PM.
We're not giving too much away, but you may also want to stay in the Junction for a surprise in the streets - 7 PM.
While you're at Summer Fest watch for the new SOL (Save Our Lots) Junction Pale. Brewed by award-winning Elliott Bay Brewing, you'll find this a refreshing brew to quench your festival thirst. You'll find #SOL at the Beer Garden, Elliott Bay and The Beer Junction.
We'll have plenty of music throughout the festival, including buskers, live music at Verity Credit Union and other pop-up locations.
Check out music from the full line-up on the Summer Fest band page. Find out more about the music line-up on the official Summer Fest website, Summer Fest Facebook page, on Twitter, on Instagram and on Snapchat wsjunction.
