TACOMA CELEBRATES FESTIVUS WITH LUMINARIAS
Tacoma's Festivus celebrates our Northwest character and community culture from Salmon Beach to the Dome District and beyond with a lighted sculptural procession with music in the streets every autumn. Last year's September Festivus coordinated with Broadway Center's Fall Free 4 All, and surprised Vicci Martinez for her acoustic birthday show. The event will bring joy to the streets on Sept. 28, starting at 7:30 p.m. at Seymour Conservatory in Wright Park. Learn more at http://www.tacomasoutsidersguide.com/what-when--why.html. A video of last year's Festivus and examples of lighted sculpture, called luminarias, can be found under the Gallery tab at the top of the page. Festivus organizers are introducing families and artists to the event and demonstrating how to make the sculptures every from 6 to 8 p.m. Wednesday evenings at Good Karma's Art Space, at 711 St. Helens Ave. Festivus reps will also be at the Thursday Broadway Farmer's Markets through Sept. 26. On Tuesday, Sept 24, they will be at the 6th Ave Farmer's Market Harvest Fest and on Sept 26 at First Night's “Diner en Blanc” at Wright Park. At 7:30 p.m. on Sept. 28, participants make their way from the conservatory to downtown's Theater District. There will be music and hula and an after-party at Tacoma Cabana, with a very special surprise. All are welcome, oldest to youngest, youngest to oldest. This is a family event and sculptures are expected to be big, bright, interesting, fun, light hearted, high minded.
