Eat, Drink, Rock, Repeat: West Seattle, the I.D., Chocolate Salon
The Chinatown/International District Summer Festival is happening Saturday and Sunday, July 11th and 12th, with music and dancing and street vendors galore lining South King Street, between 6th and 7th Avenues South. The CIDBIA has a great map available online that, if nothing else, serves as a wonderful restaurant to do list and also included the entertainment schedule for the weekend.
The Seattle Chocolate Salon returns for another year. The chocolate tasting features Seattle's very own Theo Chocolates and Carter's Chocolates from across the sound as well as a host of chocolatiers from around the country, including and Claudio Corallo (so hot right now). It finally makes sense why I got chocolate jewelry from Marco Polo in the mail (they're exhibiting, I'm supposed to be judging). They should add a disclaimer that it's not actually edible though, a girl could crack a tooth. (Bell Harbor, Sun. July 12th, 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., $20/25 (advance/door), www.seattlechocolatesalon.com)
West Seattle Summer Fest runs Friday through Sunday in The Junction this weekend (they capitalize it, so I will too), with a beer garden flanking each stage and plenty of bars (and a liquor store) in between. But, uh, it's all about family, and neighbors, and a wide array of kick ass music rolling all day, every day. California will be lined with arts and crafts, fair food, and booths from businesses of The Junction and the surrounding hood, and hundreds of West Seattleites delighting in their West Seattledom.
