This time of year, free is a very good price for Tacoma events

Posted by Josh on August 24th, 2007

Let’s say you’re recently home from your vacation. If you’re like me that means you’re broke. Nevertheless, you’ve still got a few weeks of sun and freedom before school starts. What do you do? You go looking for free entertainment. That’s what you do. Fortunately, in Tacoma your tax dollars are at work, helping to solve that very problem. I’m talking here about the free Saturday night shows happening in various parks around town. If you’re in town Saturday, August 25, head down to the South End Recreation Area of Point Defiance Park and catch the Latin and Caribbean grooves of Bochinche, followed by an outdoor screening of “Night at the Museum.” I’m only a marginal fan of Ben Stiller, but I am a big fan of free.

UPDATE: Thank you to reader Jen for keeping me accurate. In her comment she pointed out that if you went to Point Defiance Park you would miss the free party. So you should actually just go straight to the South End Recreational Area just off of South 56th Street.

    SERA is actually off of South 56th. If you went to Point Defiance, you’d be wondering where the party went! I always vote for free, too.

    Jen,

    Thank you so much, you couldn’t be more correct - forgive my ignorance. I’ll post an update right away!
