The final full month of summer brings with it plenty of concerts, arts events, food festivals, and lots of other options for having the best August ever. Some of them don't require tickets (like the 25th annual Hempfest), and others are already sold out (like the I Love the '90s concert with Salt-N-Pepa and Coolio), but there are still a remarkably high number of great events you can still buy tickets for. We've compiled them all below—plus links to buy your tickets now, before they sell out—including the Seattle Art Fair, the 20th anniversary of Suicide Squeeze, the Highlarious Comedy Festival, Bacon, Eggs & Kegs, and Summer Meltdown. And, if you're looking for more immediate things to do, don't forget to check out our complete Things To Do calendar.

THROUGH AUG 7
1. Daisy
This world-premiere play is based on the true story of marketing firm Doyle Dane Bernbach's creation of the first negative political TV ad. The weirdly avant-garde commercial, which was made for Lyndon B. Johnson's campaign against Barry Goldwater in 1964, shows a little blonde girl picking petals off a daisy only seconds before she gets blown to smithereens by a nuclear bomb. The ad is so legendary that politicians still reference it today. Though playwright Sean Devine didn't mean for it to be when he started working on it years ago, Daisy serves as a piece of compelling, dramatic commentary on the 2016 Trump Versus Clinton Hate-Vote Election™, which means his play is relevant in a very obvious way that people like. RICH SMITH

AUG 1-SEPT 20
2. 2016 Rooftop Dinner Series
Enjoy the warm summer weather (and clear views of mountains and the sound) at Bastille's twice-weekly (Mondays and Tuesdays) rooftop dinner series. The groups are small—under 10 guests—and the food is super local, often harvested directly from the rooftop garden.

AUG 2
3. HAELOS
London trio HÆLOS begin their debut album, Full Circle, with a sample of British philosopher Alan Watts speaking about “the spectrum of love” over a poignant ambient piece. They let you know instantly that you may need a hanky or two as you progress through their collection of emotionally fraught, dancing-while-choked-up-on-remorse tunes. The prevailing mood is despondent, but buoyed by rhythms—including a sample or blatant facsimile of James Brown/Clyde Stubblefield’s “Funky Drummer”—that insist you bounce out of the doldrums, despite your setbacks. DAVE SEGAL

4. Landau Eugene Murphy, Jr.
Jazz vocalist Landau Eugene Murphy, Jr. may be a big name thanks to America's Got Talent, but manages to stay on top courtesy of smooth as silk performances every time he hits the stage.

5. SHRIEK: Suspiria!
SHRIEK is a film class focusing on the role of women in horror. This time, Evan J. Peterson and Heather Marie Bartells will screen and discuss Dario Argento's supernatural horror film Suspiria, set in a German ballet school.

6. Ziggy Marley with Steel Pulse
It’s difficult, as Americans, to get a good bead on the cultural importance of Bob Marley in his native Jamaica and to reggae and dub as musical institutions. On the one hand, he was the genre’s great popularizer. On the other hand, “posthumous dorm poster icon” is a dubious legacy. Look, then, to his children, musicians and performers in their father’s vein, for a less historically tainted view of his music’s power. And while personally I prefer the hiphop consciousness of his youngest offspring, Damian, it is eldest son, Ziggy, who most definitely carries his father’s torch. With 18 records (one unreleased) to his name, Ziggy is as prolific as Bob, and one day may be as beloved. JOSEPH SCHAFER

AUG 2-17
7. Girl
Girl, directed by Mary Hubert and devised and scripted by the ensemble, is like a traditional hero's journey—except it features modern Seattle heroines battling "a society that imposes constraints on their gender and generation," or our everyday world.

AUG 3

AUG 4-6

Australian producer and wunderkind Flume hits the Paramount with three whole days of masterwork soundscapes, with guest opener Mura Masa.

13. Pizza Fest 2016
Returning for another year of greasy chaos, Pizza Fest reigns supreme as one of the rowdiest, most ridiculous events to attend in Seattle. Grab a slice, throw some bows, and make friendships that'll last a lifetime, or whatever the punk kids are doing these days. The line-up includes the triumphant return of Personal & The Pizzas, Sashay, Boyfriends, and a ton more local shredders, and everything's going down at the Funhouse and El Corazon this August.

AUG 4-7
14. Seattle Art Fair
Last summer, Paul Allen said, “Let there be Seattle Art Fair,” and it was good. This summer its second incarnation has more galleries—83—including New York titans David Zwirner and Pace, plus LA heavy hitter Roberts & Tilton, plus New York stalwart Marlborough, and many, many more coming from Asia, Europe, and the East Coast as well as a still-healthy continent from Seattle and Portland.

AUG 5-7

19. Anglicon 2016

Important footnote: tickets include unlimited champagne!

24. Emily King with David Ryan Harris
Emerging chart queen Emily King layers electronic riffs with soft yet strong vocal harmonies for a lush glimpse into the future of pop music.

25. Travis Tritt
Experience almost 30 years of blowing apart the country music charts with Southern rocker Travis Tritt.

AUG 6-20
26. The Wicked Adventures of Count Ory
You like Gioachino Rossini. He’s the one whose music runs and rushes and spins, and that’s why it’s been theme-song-ed for Bugs Bunny and The Lone Ranger and who knows how much else. But the poor gentleman wrote 39 operas and most of us have heard only a minute of one of them. So check this out: The Wicked Adventures of Count Ory is an obscure comedy Seattle Opera’s doing in a Monty Python-esque style. Farce! Silliness! Mistaken identities in bed! This opera also kicks off the first season planned entirely by General Director Aidan Lang, so here’s some future to trip on. JEN GRAVES (Through August 20)

AUG 8
31. Endangered Species Project: Johnny On A Spot
ACT and the Endangered Species Project present a performance of political comedy Johnny On A Spot by Charles MacArthur.

32. Marissa Nadler, Wrekmeister Harmonies, Muscle and Marrow
While she kept it low-key, Marissa Nadler was one of the more interesting and unpredictable of the Pitchfork-approved “freak-folk” artists. While Joanna Newsom tried to weaponize her rasp and Andrew Bird tried to make everything he touched sound like a Disney soundtrack, Nadler collaborated with black-metal artist Xasthur and mined some deep pathos for her songs. JOSEPH SCHAFER

AUG 8-9
33. La Luz
Seattle-originated golden girls La Luz bring their surf-psych dreamworld back to town for a two-night set, with bill support from Great Spiders and Mommy Long Legs on August 8 and Draemhouse and Diminished Men on August 9.

Rave it up with everybody's favorite medieval manservant, Hodor (or, the actual guy and not George R.R. Martin character, Kristian Nairn), as he spins all night long.

41. Slipknot with Marilyn Manson and Of Mice & Men
Relive your strange metalhead teen dreams by donning your best tongue piercing and heading down to White River Amphitheater for what will probably be a complete melee, with Slipknot, Marilyn Manson, and Of Mice & Men.

56. The Search for Seattle’s Best Amateur Elvis Impersonator

AUG 13-SEPT 11
60. Olympic Music Festival

AUG 14 & 28
61. Bendy Brewski Yoga
In a gallery lined with gold frames, the Frye Art Museum hosts a series of “Noise Yoga” classes, which caters to lovers of yoga, art, and experimental music. But what about all the craft beer–loving yogis and yoginis of Seattle? Where can they go? This summer, Sodo’s Pyramid Brewing hosts its first “Bendy Brewski” classes: 45 minutes of yoga (open to all levels, with mats available to borrow) followed by a pint of beer. It seems inevitable that someone would finally find a way to combine two of the city’s favorite activities. Namaste and cheers. ANGELA GARBES

AUG 15
62. Boys of Summer

65. BROODS with Jarryd James

Enlisting Lorde’s producer Joel Little to play Svengali for their debut album, Evergreen, the duo have their sights set nakedly on pop domination, and the ten-ton, EDM-flavored choruses to prove it. KYLE FLECK

66. Michael Jackson Birthday Night
Celebrate the birthday of the king of pop with an all-night tribute to Michael Jackson, featuring covers by Snug Harbor, General Mojo’s, SGF, Whitney Lyman, Richie Dagger’s Crime, Ayo Dot & The Uppercuts, and Wiscon.

67. Periphery, SikTh, Chon, Toothgrinder
The one genre of music that has the most subdivisions within its core is heavy metal. There’s death metal, power metal, thrash metal, and many other offshoots, but one style of metal that has risen in popularity recently is “djent,” which is marked by odd time signatures, complex riffing and down-tuned guitar tones. Of all the bands that have risen to popularity during djent’s 2011-2013 burgeoning, Periphery are probably most likely to thrive due to their catchy hooks and overall crossover appeal. Don’t be surprised if you see them skyrocket from club tours to supporting arena-rock bands in the near future. KEVIN DIERS

82. Fitz & The Tantrums with Phases
Party rockers Fitz & The Tantrums break out their seemingly irrepressible energy to the Marymoor stage.

83. Urban Ag Bike Tour
Anyone who eats at Southeast Seattle’s many Vietnamese and East African restaurants knows that it’s one of the most diverse areas of the city. Unfortunately, it’s also an area that has high rates of poverty, food insecurity, diabetes, and asthma, as well as lower rates of physical activity. To counteract these health issues but also celebrate their communities’ commitment to providing good food for residents, two great organizations, the Rainier Valley Food Bank and Columbia City’s Bike Works, are teaming up to host family-friendly bike tours of some of Southeast Seattle’s local food havens, open to bicyclists of all levels. Afterward, you’ll sit down to a meal made from produce grown along your route. The whole thing is, miraculously, free. ANGELA GARBES

101. Heart, Joan Jett & The Blackhearts, Cheap Trick
Local heroes Heart headline the White River Amphitheater in a three-fer with other Rock & Roll Hall of Famers Joan Jett & The Blackhearts, and Cheap Trick.

102. Parquet Courts
Much like Pavement before them, Parquet Courts wear their influences on their raggedy sleeves. The New York quartet expands on the restless aesthetic forged by the Modern Lovers and the Feelies (Television haunts the chiming guitar interplay, too, but their bite-size songs make “Marquee Moon” seem like a symphony). On top of the shambling mêlée, Parquet Courts mumble and shout conversational, seemingly off-the-cuff lyrics, like the wild-eyed guy in the alley who’ll say anything to make a sale—or a friend. It isn’t mature or sophisticated, but it’s stupid in the way that only truly smart music, like the first Ramones album, can be. Instead of brats and bats, they sing about ducking and dodging and frying and abiding. Deep? Not so much. Fun? Most definitely. KATHY FENNESSY

103. Purse First with Bob the Drag Queen and Thorgy Thor
Neighbors celebrates 34 years of looking fresh and staying cool with a full-on show featuring winner of RuPaul's Drag Race, Bob the Drag Queen, with performances by Thorgy Thor, Cucci Binaca, Cookie Couture and more, and music from Victor Rodriguez (LAX, Bears in Space) and Nark (Bottom Forty, Dickslap).

104. SAM Remix
This evening of "creative explosion" promises performances, arts activities, dancing, and more at the beautiful Olympic Sculpture Park.

105. Sara Gazarek Trio
Sara Gazarek is a jazz singer who has roots in Seattle. She got her proper start in jazz at Roosevelt High School, expanded her knowledge of the art form at Thornton School of Music, released her debut, Yours, in 2005, and has won many awards. What makes her interesting to me is that she has a style, a manner of singing, that has an eroticism that's not exotic at all but instead draws from what many would consider to be an unexciting region of American life—the white middle class. Gazarek can swing, for sure, and there is a lot of soul and technical sophistication in her work, but it also has a flame, a passion, that's wonderfully, even beautifully plain (by US standards). CHARLES MUDEDE

106. Zakk Wylde, Otherwise, Jared James Nichols
Black Label Society frontman Zakk Wylde makes metal-leaning rock music into a dangerous habit, with a scorched-earth approach to guitar riffs and hollowed blues-driven vocals.

AUG 27
107. Chastity Belt, So Pitted, Happy Diving
Chastity Belt burst on the scene a couple years ago with a full formed pop sensibility that slashes with post-punk astringency and glints with chiming guitar textures à la Television and the Feelies. Their debut album, No Regerts, vibrates with guitarist/vocalist Julia Shapiro’s trenchant, witty observations about the ups and downs of being too smart to get enchanted with your surroundings, set to rock songs that ingratiate themselves without being obnoxious about it. The beautiful, surging title track of their new album for Hardly Art, Time to Go Home, betokens interesting things. DAVE SEGAL

114. Russian Circles with Cloakroom
I’m not going to pretend that Russian Circles don’t scare the shit out of me. The instrumental trio has always had a knack for composing what sounds like a murder soundtrack, but while their previous work has definitely boasted some heavy breakdowns, I always found the most chilling moments to be when the band would slow things down and lurk, slowly, all around me.
