| | This weekend, the Emerald City is bursting with fall festivals and activities to keep your crew happy and entertained. On our radar: a Greek extravaganza, a day for junior firefighters, an inaugural festival for kids, a farm-tastic fair with old-time activities, a family night with rockin’ entertainment and a sale that will leave you seeing double (or triple!). If your tykes are looking for an excuse to put on their Halloween costumes, boogie over to the Superhero Dance Party where costumed superheroes can dance to the beats of DJ Taco Supreme, craft their own masks and have a blast raising money for a great cause. photo: Christopher Nelson courtesy of Northwest Folklife Seattle Saint Demetrios Greek Festival
