Good morning – rain or shine, the Fauntleroy Fall Festival is today’s biggest event, so we’ll start the list with that:
FAUNTLEROY FALL FESTIVAL: Three hours of big fun, outdoors and indoors, on the grounds of the Fauntleroy Schoolhouse, Church, and YMCA, both sides of the 9100 block of California SW, 2-5 pm. The festival-zone map is above; you can see the event schedule – activities, performances, demonstrations, community-organization booths – in our calendar listing. It’s all free – powered by donations and volunteers – except for the food and beverages available for purchase. Depending on the weather, some activities may move locations from where they’re mapped, so ask the nearest volunteer if you’re having trouble finding something. (Pre-festival – if you’re entering the cake contest, drop off your entry at The Hall at Fauntleroy on the south end of the schoolhouse by noon!)
Now, here’s what else is up for your Sunday, mostly from the WSB West Seattle Event Calendar (where you’ll find even more listings!) and inbox:
