    Looks like it might be a little chilly this weekend, with highs in the mid-70s and a chance of thunderstorms on Saturday.

    • But that's fine going-out weather for Seattleites, who know to pack parkas year-round.

    Thursday

    🎶 Head to Volunteer Park for a 6pm concert at the amphitheater , featuring Mokoomba and LeRoy Bell and His Only Friends . Bring a picnic and a blanket. Reserve your free tickets here .

    Friday

    Get pumped with Kane Brown , whose lively electronic-pop-country hit " Miles On It " belongs on summer car trip playlists. The lineup also includes country artists Chris Young, LoCash and RaeLynn. 6:30pm at T-Mobile Park. Tickets start around $30 .

    Saturday

    💐 Pop by Pike Place Market to celebrate the 117th birthday of the iconic Seattle landmark.

    • The market — which now hosts more than 500 small businesses — opened its doors on Aug. 17, 1907, after skyrocketing produce costs prompted the city to designate land for a public market. All day. Free.

    ⚽️ Support the Seattle Sounders as they face off against rivals LAFC in the Leagues Cup quarterfinals at Lumen Field. 5pm. Tickets start at $34 .

    🥁 Venture over to Bainbridge Island for a brain-stretching session of avant-garde music from Cacophony — with cello luminary Lori Goldston , experimental free-noise act Spawn, percussionist Style King of the Week , movement and beat artists Casey Adams and Hannah Rice and progressive jazz act Mission Drift .

    🛩️ Go a different direction with the Bremerton Air Show , featuring daredevil flying in military and civilian aircraft , as well as aircraft and car ground shows . 10am–5pm Saturday and Sunday, with flights starting at 1pm. $25 . Kids 15 and under are free when with an adult ticket holder.

    Sunday

    🌹 Get inked at the Seattle Tattoo Expo , or just marvel at the work of some of Seattle's most celebrated tattooists and the display of body art on hundreds of attendees. Seattle Center Exhibition. Friday through Sunday. Admission is $30 for one day, $70 for all three days.
