Just when winter seems like it will never end, March swoops in with its cherry blossoms and cold-but-sunny days. Whether you want to make up for all the time you’ve spent huddled under a blanket by spending time outdoors or you want to celebrate all the holidays this month brings (namely, Women’s History Month and International Women’s Day, St. Patrick’s Day, Holi, and Mardi Gras), your options are plentiful. Below, we’ve compiled the biggest art and comedy shows, concerts, food events, and other great things to do, from Vince Staples to Ronny Chieng, from the Seattle Jewish Film Festival to Taste Washington, and from Moisture Festival to Emerald City Comic Con. If all of that isn’t enough, you can also look ahead to the rest of this year’s big events, see our list of cheap & easy year-round events, or check out our complete Things To Do calendar.

MARCH 1
FOOD & DRINK
1. Pig Day Out
This event celebrates not one but two pig-related occasions: the Lunar New Year and National Pig Day—a special “Porcine Nexus” that only happens once every 12 years. Rather than just feast on pork (which you can still do via food specials at spots like Honest Biscuits and Pike’s Pit Bar-B-Que), you’ll be watching pig races, making pig crafts, witnessing the crowning of the 2019 Lunar New Year princess Golden Pearl, drinking in a Pig Pen Beer Garden and S’Winery, and seeing live performances by the Chinese Cultural Dancers.
