There’s no need to spend lots of money on entertainment this weekend when you have options like a free Shabazz Palaces concert, a food truck rodeo, and a $10 anniversary party at Chuck’s Hop Shop (which includes nine tasting tickets). See all of your options here, and, if you have a budget bigger than $15, you can find even more events on our Things To Do calendar.

FRIDAY
1. Shabazz Palaces
“If there’s a headier, more sonically and lyrically advanced way to bring in 2016 than with Seattle hiphop innovators Shabazz Palaces, then I don’t know what it is.” -Dave Segal (First Hill, free)
2. Queer Artist Open Mic
This event, presented by Gay City Arts and Lion’s Main Art Collective, promises an inclusive open mic (spoken word, music, or dance), special guests L Henderson and Imani Sims, and the opportunity to mix and mingle with rad people. (Capitol Hill, free)
3. Karl Blau Benefit Show
A benefit for Karl Blau, Anacortes’ musical hub, following the shitty and tragic burning down of his studio and subsequent loss of equipment and instruments. (Eastlake, donation)
