What’s Happening This Week in Shoreline: August 26 – September 1
The last weekend of August is here, with just a hint of fall on the horizon, but don't worry; there’s still plenty of summer fun ahead. Catch two nights of garage punk at Darrell’s Tavern, shop local at the Shoreline Farmers Market, build new skills at the Shoreline Tool Library, or watch Labyrinth under the stars at Paramount Park. On Sunday, enjoy story time at Ridgecrest Books and the Wallingford Avenue Block Party in Parkwood. Then, Shoreline School District students head back to school on Tuesday. Make the most of these final summer days, and best wishes to Shoreline students, families, teachers, and staff for a great start to the new school year!
