Seattle Scotch & Beer Fest
This is a unique opportunity to try both new scotch and craft beer. So if you’re a fan of either or both it’s a great way to branch out and find a new favorite. Plus it’s a fundraiser for the Youth Experiential Training Institute (Y.E.T.I) so you can feel good about having those extra drinks.

Watch the Lyrid Meteor Shower
The Lyrids are known for being solidly reliable, producing at least 10-15 meteors an hour. That being said, sometimes they like to show off meaning that if you get lucky you might catch a burst with closer to 100 meteors, no guarantees though. Worth a look right?
When: April 15th-29th
The Spring Fair
You can see all sorts of cute fuzzy baby animals, livestock, livestock shows, and more at The Spring Fair. Additionally, you’ll be able to see shows like DockDogs, Swifty Swine Racing Pigs, and Motorsport Mayhem. Whatever you’re hoping to watch, it’s almost a guarantee the fair has it.
