This year could bring any number of unexpected things, but we know for sure that it will bring excellent concerts, theater productions, author readings, food festivals, and other cultural events to Seattle. We’ve rounded up the 200 biggest events that are already scheduled for the new year, the majority of which already have tickets on sale, so whether you’re looking for a gift that doesn’t require a trip to the store, you’re planning a trip to Seattle and don’t want to miss the city’s biggest offerings, or you’re overwhelmed by all of the events on our Things To Do calendar and just want the highlights, you’ll find something of interest. Read on for options ranging from the Seattle International Film Festival and Capitol Hill Block Party to the Seattle Wine and Food Experience, and from Moisture Festival and Emerald City Comic Con to the Rock ‘n’ Roll Marathon.
THROUGH JAN 6
PERFORMANCE
1. Disney’s The Lion King
Julie Taymor’s jaw-dropping, puppet-filled production of The Lion King will visit Seattle in its Circle of Life. Elton John music, Tony-winning direction, treachery, youth, and revenge…the works.
