Snowflake Lane finale, holiday shows, more Seattle events happening this weekend

Even with the potential of a white Christmas knocking at our doorstep, there are still plenty of events taking place around Seattle this weekend.

If you're looking for something to do in between the package unwrapping and holiday eating, keep reading. 

Last chance fun: A "snowy" parade and pop-up bar

Friday is your last chance to experience Snowflake Lane before next year. Presented by the Bellevue Collection, this 17th annual spectacular parade presents its last show filled with “snow,” lots of lights, festive music, drummers, dancers, floats and costumed friends Friday at 7 p.m. The parade runs between Bellevue Square and Lincoln Square. Parking is free.

Friday is also the last day you can experience Miracle, Seattle's Christmas-themed pop-up cocktail bar. Taking over the Rob Roy cocktail bar, Miracle is famous for its kitschy and vintage decorations and holiday-themed beverages like The Christapolitain, Christmas Carol Barrell, On Dasher and SanTaRex.

On Stage: Scrooge, nutcrackers and Duke Ellington

Good seats can still be found at some of Seattle’s favorite holiday shows this weekend.

A few seats are remaining for performances of ACT Theatre’s “A Christmas Carol”, which will be presented at 1 p.m. and 4 p.m. on both Friday and Sunday. Tickets are a little more plentiful for The Nutcracker ballet at McCaw Hall which will be offering shows through Wednesday.

The last two shows of Seattle Public Thater’s “Christmastown” will be shown on Friday at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. while the group’s other show, “A Very Die Hard Christmas” will be presented on Sunday at 6 p.m. and 8 p.m. And “The Burlesque Nutcracker” will wrap up the year with performances on Friday and Sunday at 4 p.m. and 7 p.m.

The Seattle Repertory Jazz Orchestra is also presenting its annual Duke Ellington Sacred Music concert at Town Hall on Sunday at 7:30 p.m. Earshot Jazz has presented this concert for more than 30 years now. This year’s show features guest vocalists Dee Daniel and Jacqueline Tabor and tap dancer, Alex Dugdale. Those who have attended the show in the past will be sad to learn that the Northwest Chamber Chorus will not be a part of the show this year.

Film: ‘Fiddler on the Roof’ Sing-along

SIFF is presenting its annual celebration on Saturday which features a “Fiddler on the Roof Sing-along.” Presented at the SIFF Cinema Uptown theater, the event begins at 11 a.m. with a free, pre-film Chinese food takeout lunch and live music from Orkestyr Farfeleh. Warm up your vocal cords and immerse yourself in the Oscar-winning film starting at noon. Tickets can be purchased online.
