Almost The Weekend: End-of-Summer Parties, Portland Beats & Seattle Soul

This week on Almost The Weekend, Besa Gordon and Curtis “Cuddy” Delgardo are bringing you a packed lineup of culture, comedy, and community. From wine cruises on Lake Union to Farm Fest at Seattle’s largest urban farm, we’ve got your weekend covered with events you won’t want to miss. Besa also highlights DEFY Wrestling’s can’t-miss showdown at Washington Hall, while Cuddy runs down comedy shows, day parties, and more in the Weekend Warm-Up.

Then we hit the road with our Portland correspondent Tra’Renee for City Beats, where she spotlights Portland Fashion Week, SnackFest, and a Trail Blazers rally celebrating Damian Lillard’s return. Cuddy drops some insider knowledge in Artist Corner with tips on building an EPK, and later, Seattle blues legend Lady A joins Community Corner to talk about her One Seattle Soul concert series empowering young artists while giving back to the community.

We wrap things up with our Weekend Picks, from wrestling rings to comedy stages, making sure you step into the weekend with the perfect game plan.
