Neighborhood festivals combine two of my favorite things: food and music, both prepared and shared with a love for the community that inspired them. Here's what's cookin' this weekend (9/25 - 9/27):
St. Demetrios Greek Festival
St. Demetrios Greek Orthodox Church, 2100 Boyer Ave E
Friday, September 25th, 12 - 9 pm
Saturday, September 26th, 10:30 am - 9 pm
Sunday, September 27th, 12 - 7 pm
Souvlaki, spanikopita, gyros, moussaka...are you hungry yet? Admission is free but bring plenty of cash for all the food you'll want to eat. After you grab your first plate, have a seat and enjoy the traditional Greek music and dancing.

Wallingford Wurst Festival
St. Benedict School, 48th and Wallingford
Friday, September 25th, 4 - 10 pm
Saturday, September 26th, 11 am - 10 pm
Mmm...bratwurst and sauerkraut. Or grilled salmon and fried sweet corn if you prefer (but why would you when there's bratwurst to be had?). Also, lots of great local music including Portage Bay Big Band and Klez Katz!

Music Back on Jackson Street
Flo Ware Park, 28th and Jackson
Sunday, September 27th, 12 - 5 pm
What a perfect way to spend a Sunday: a free concert in the park with a special musical tribute to John Coltrane. Plus there will be barbecue and a dunk-a-cop booth - love it.
