This weekend looks like a promising one for procrastinators, with plenty options for easy entertainment that won’t cost you more than $10—from two festivals at Seattle Center (Vegfest and the World Rhythm Festival) to specialty markets (Mobile Food Rodeo Round-up and the Best of the Northwest Art & Fine Craft Show) to local benefit celebrations (a meeting of the Aaron Huffman Admiration Society and the Encyclopedia Greenwoodia release) to local comedian shows (Hari Kondabolu’s scratch night and a greatest hits performance from the Seattle Shakesbeerience) to themed DJ nights (Kanye Night and Onesie Night). Believe it or not, you’ll find even more cheap and easy options if you keep reading, or, if you have a slightly larger budget, check out our critics’ picks for the 53 best things to do this week.
