1. The Seattle International Children's Festival became Giant Magnet last year. It happened last in Seattle - but today it condenses itself into a mini version and packs into the Pantages - for a day of kid-friendly fun featuring Joyful Theater, Cimarron and Jamie Adkins from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., then concluding with a performance by Black Violin, an awe raising fusion of classic violin and hip-hop beats, at 7:30 p.m.
2. From 5-7 p.m. The Hub hosts Bike To A Better Tacoma, a get-together with with fellow bicyclists and City staff members to get happy and be updated on the Mobility Master Plan. Talk with a bike Technician from REI, and take advantage of valet bike parking. If you bike to the Hub, you'll receive a free slice of pizza, enjoy night-long happy hour specials, and be entered into a drawing for a $50 or $25 Hub gift certificates.
3. The Swing Reunion Orchestra performs at 7 p.m. inside the Imperial Dragon restaurant on Sixth Avenue.
4. Flamenco song and dance is - pretty much - sexier than you'll ever be (even if you grow your hair out like Antonio Banderas). It's a bummer. Luckily, like an un-sexy sponge, you can sop up the sexy sweat Flamenco exudes and use it to your advantage. Flamenco Arte Y Paz will hit The New Frontier Lounge at 7:30 p.m. Check it out.
5. Doyle's Public House hosts another free St. Practice Day party at 9 p.m.
