Tomorrow night (Thursday, December 12) brings three reasons to be out celebrating community and creativity in the heart of the holiday season:

SHOP LATE THURSDAY: West Seattle Junction shops are staying open late again tomorrow night, and you’ll find Santa roaming, plus the return of the Silver Belles carolers (with a repertoire of holiday parodies, as featured in our coverage last week) – the fun starts after 5 pm.

WEST SEATTLE ART WALK: 5 pm is also start time for Art Walk, in The Junction as well as around other peninsula neighborhoods – you can see the map here (this quarter’s venue list is above), and scroll through the spotlights for specific artist receptions here. Group shows, individual shows, early, late – and so many possible gifts!
