Our May events calendar features a wide variety of entertainment in the Seattle-Tacoma metropolitan region. Holidays and special events include Mother’s Day (second Sunday) and Memorial Day (last Monday). The income tax filing deadline has been extended to May 17, 2021. Ramadan 2021 began the evening of Monday, April 12 and ends at sundown on Tuesday, May 11.
We’ll continue to update this calendar throughout the month as many organizers announce new events and online content.
As always, we focus on events with a regular adult admission price of $15 or less. (For virtual events, we go up to $25, since you can have multiple people viewing the event for one ticket.) There are a few events with higher ticket prices that we feel might be worth a splurge, especially music, film, and arts events that support local entertainers.
For more expensive events, we look for popular events with available ticket discounts that can help bring the price down.
