Our August events calendar features a wide variety of affordable entertainment in the Seattle-Tacoma metropolitan region. We’ll continue to update this calendar throughout the month as many organizers announce new events.
As always, we focus on events with a regular adult admission price of $15 or less. There are a few events with higher ticket prices that we feel might be worth a splurge, mostly music, film, and arts events.
For more expensive events, we look for popular events with available ticket discounts that can help bring the price down.
