3. The Olympia Action Network and the Volunteer Center of Lewis, Thurston and Mason counties will host an epic potluck supper from 4 to 8 p.m. called A Table For Olympia, The grand buffet will be served on Fifth Avenue, which will be closed from Franklin to Washington. Read the full story here.

4. Chances are the three-and-a-half-week summer we just wrapped up left you pining for more. But most of us can't afford a vacation. It's quite a conundrum. Luckily, slack-key guitar master Keoki Kahumoku will be inside the Washington Center at 7 p.m. to bring the laid-back sounds of the islands to the mainland. A multiple Grammy winner, Kahumoku will be joined by fellow slack-keyer Patrick Landeza, ukulele badass Herb Ohta Jr. and Lakewood's Monday ‘Ukulele ‘Ohana.

5. SweetKiss Momma, Death First and James Coates & The Lost Souls perform at 8 p.m. inside Jazzbones.
