There’s lots to love in our weekend guide, with festive events from Sound Off! 2026 to Tết in Seattle and from the Petit Troll Mardi Gras Parade to Sweetheart Book Fair. Plus, if the urge for new ink strikes, go get a Friday the 13th flash tattoo!
FRIDAY
LIVE MUSIC
Slumber Party: Dalaine, Henry Mansfield
A concert in an artisanal chocolate shop that encourages wearing pajamas? Sign me up. Owned and operated by Seattle musician and chocolatier Aaron Lindstrom, Cocoa Legato hosts a few intimate shows each week, befitting of the shop’s name—”legato” is an Italian musical term used to describe music played in a smooth and flowing way. This Friday’s show features two incredible local acts: queer indie pop artist Henry Mansfield with a string ensemble and folk singer-songwriter Dalaine, whose 2023 NPR Tiny Desk entry was highlighted as one of their “Entries We Love.” Bring your crush, your kids, your blankets and stuffies, and get ready for a Valentine’s eve that’s sweet in more ways than one.
