More for tomorrow: MedFest, Alki cars, Log House Museum art …

Thanks to Dina Johnson for sharing that photo from last year’s Mediterranean Fantasy Fest, with dancers Lisa Yasmine (a West Seattleite) and Katia Sahar. Tomorrow and Sunday, 11 am-7 pm, MedFest takes over Hiawatha once more, inside and out, with more than 275 dancers from all over the West Coast – more info here. (11:10 pm note, a commenter points out a discrepancy between these hours, which we received as a submitted events-calendar announcement, and what’s on the MedFest website – we’d go with the latter – here’s the schedule of performances.) It’s one of tomorrow’s headlines that we’re previewing tonight – plus, a lot is going on at the beach:

8 am-4 pm, the annual Alki Classic Car Show will line the boardwalk …here are the details from an earlier preview. You should be able to enter a car same-day if you’re not already signed up. Also on Alki:

At Log House Museum (61st/Stevens) it’s a first-ever event – the Painted Garden Art Festival, tomorrow and Sunday, 10 am-4 pm. Artists from a multitude of mediums will be at the historic museum, some of them working while they display! Admission free – and if you drop by at 2 or 4 pm, a 30-minute Alki history tour will be available.

Earlier, we previewed West Seattle Outdoor Movies‘ debut tomorrow night; later, we’ve got a few more events to preview! In the meantime, see the WSB West Seattle Events calendar for more of what’s happening – including Sunday’s marquee event, the West Seattle Garden Tour (co-sponsored by WSB).

    As their website says, those are the lovely ladies of the Babylonian Ensemble. I will attest that they are absolutely lovely.

    y’all are talkin’ about that car….right? ;-)

    Are the MedFest hours 11am-7pm as WSB indicates or 10am-9pm as the link to Babylonian Ensemble shows? Anyone know?

      The announcement we got for our events calendar said 11 am-7 pm. I believe that came from Hiawatha staff. However, if you look deeper into the Babylonian Ensemble website, here’s the schedule of performances:
      http://www.babylonianensemble.com/detailpage.asp?ID=2305&Category=Mediterranean%20Fantasy%20Fest

      which seem to run from just before 11 to a lot later than 7. So I’d take that as more gospel. (Edited) On a second look – it appears to run later than 7 on Saturday, but on Sunday, the performances are scheduled to end around 6. Same page as linked above. – Tracy
