Let’s get lit 💡
We’re noticing a theme this week: bright lights and colorful parties.
Fall officially begins on Thursday, and you can kiss warm summer evenings goodbye at the closing Habitat party on Monkey Loft’s rooftop. Then head underground for the annual Kremfest, a four-day subterranean electronic music fest at the Kremwerk Complex. There’s also a light festival and nighttime ball to round out the week 🪩

🔴 Tuesday
TikTok sensation Girl in Red is landing in Seattle during her US tour. The queer musician became so popular that the phrase “Do you listen to Girl in Red?” has become a way of asking if someone is a lesbian.

🌇 Wednesday
We’re sad to report that summer is over, and we know this because Monkey Loft’s bumping Habitat dance night is closing for the season. Head on up for one final sunset dance party. Also today: Book-It Repertory Theatre’s In the Time of Butterflies opens. Based on the novel by Julia Alvarez, the play runs through mid-October.

🪩 Thursday
If you look up while walking around the Denny Triangle neighborhood, you’ll see a lot of newness, with skyscrapers popping up on nearly every block. But if you look down, you’ll find something familiar: The subterranean Kremwerk is throwing its annual Kremfest, an electronic music fest made for local techno heads.

Seattle Public Library throws a big queer ball every year, right in the face of homophobes who’d prefer it if queens never opened another book again. Legendary Children is back, this year at the Olympic Sculpture Park. Plus: The successful Down the Rabbit Hole cabaret returns to Cafe Nordo’s Knife Room for another round of shows.
