The Gray Sky Blues Music Festival starts on Saturday, April 4th, immediately following the Daffodil Festival Grand Floral Parade in Tacoma, and will feature some of the best Blues musicians to be found west of the Mississippi. Venues in downtown Tacoma include the Harmon Brewery, the Swiss, Cutter’s Point Coffee, urbanXchange, Indochine, and Paddy Coyne’s Irish Pub, In addition to great Blues, you’ll also enjoy car shows at both the Harmon and The Swiss. Check it out – you’ll discover why Tacoma is a thriving part of the music scene on the West Coast! In October, Tacoma Events Commission brings an old-fashioned harvest celebration to the South Sound with the Orting Pumpkin Fest. Designed primarily as a food festival featuring items made with pumpkin ingredients, we’ll also celebrate agriculture, music, and lots o’ pumpkins! Hayrides, pumpkin carving contests, and a beer garden will keep the grown-ups happy, while “Pumpkins Pals on Parade” gives the children a place to show off their favorite pumpkin costume. Musical entertainment is scheduled throughout the day. This event will take you back to the “good ol’ days” of fun, family-oriented entertainment.
