All week long, we’ve been posting lists of Seattle events to keep you busy (including the best arts & culture events, quirky things to do, and the best music shows to see), but we realize there’s a lot to sort through. So, if you only have time to read one list, make it this one: We’ve plucked the biggest events you need to know about in every genre, from Chinatown-International District’s annual Lunar New Year Celebration to the chocoholic bacchanalia that is Chocofest, and from a music festival with NYC brass quartet the Westerlies to the 92nd Academy Awards. See them all below, and find even more things to do this weekend on our complete EverOut Things To Do, Lunar New Year, and Black History Month calendars.
