A Local Dolly Parton Tribute

Country legend Dolly Parton passed away earlier this week at 80. Her death has inspired countless tributes from admirers around the world. One closer-to-home local homage is coming from the Seattle Men’s Chorus, which is releasing its popular “Dolly: Seattle Men’s Chorus Salutes Dolly Parton” tribute concert online for a limited time. It costs $25 to watch the show, which was performed last year in Seattle, Everett, and Tacoma. All proceeds will go to the singer-songwriter’s Imagination Library. Get more details here.

A Movie in Crossroads Park

Bellevue’s Crossroads Park has, since Aug. 6, been hosting outdoor movie screenings for families. Its summer season is coming to a close tonight with a showing at “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.” Pre-show entertainment will start at 7 p.m.; the movie begins at dusk. Find out more here.

Dancing ‘Til Dusk

Those looking for an excuse to break out their dancing shoes need to look no further than Dancing ‘Til Dusk. Co-organized by Dance for Joy, the Seattle-touring outdoor event series constitutes an hour-long dance lesson that’s followed by free live music for participants to get their grooves on to.
