What’s on this weekend

Meghan Walker Ballard

It should be another beautiful weekend in Ballard, with sun and temperatures in the mid- to high-70s. If you’re looking to get outside and listen to live music (and sip on some tasty local beer), check out Stoup Brewing’s family-friendly Yard Party on Saturday. If you have any events to add to this list, email us at tips@myballard.com.

Have a great weekend!
