KEXP’s REFILL Benefit Concert
This Sunday, July 19, KEXP is hosting REFILL, a live concert in partnership with Langston to help raise funds for the Seattle Arts Relief Fund (SARF). SARF is a Black-led community response effort that’s helping provide direct financial support to artists who have been affected by Covid-19. To learn more about how SARF is helping support artists during the pandemic, check out this video on their GoFundMe page.
REFILL’s musical line-up includes Brandon Marsallis & Talaya, Claudine Magbag, Perry Porter, Chong the Nomad, Ben Zaidi, Parisalexa, Sol, Left At London, Dave B, and Sango, and the event will be hosted by KEXP DJ Eva Walker.

BBQ Nights at Cuff and Other Patio Dining
Cuff, one of Seattle’s most prominent LGBTQ+ nightclubs now has a walk-up window for take-out, and an open outdoor bar on their patio where they are also hosting nightly BBQ cookouts. Patio capacity is limited, masks are required (obviously), and groups must be under five people, but those patio lights and festive vibes are calling out to us even if we can’t dance the night away on the dance floor. The main patio bar opens at 5pm Wednesday through Friday, and the BBQ starts at 7pm sharp. Looking for a more chill vibe? The Infatuation has started compiling a complete list of Seattle restaurants with outdoor patio service.

A Movie at the Drive-In
If you are experiencing couch fatigue from too much “Netflix-and-chill’-ing then a drive-in movie might be right up your alley. While most outdoor drive-in theatres in Washington are a short road trip away (like the Rodeo in Bremerton, the Skyline in Shelton, and the Wheel-In in Port Townsend), Marymoor Park has rolled out a roster of drive-in movie screenings. We’re particularly excited about Hidden Figures, which is playing next Tuesday, July 22. Future screenings for the month of July include School of Rock (July 23), Knives Out (July 29), and Shrek (July 30). Tickets for these showings are mostly sold out, but August films will be released later this month, so stay tuned! To learn more about all your drive-in options, check out this recap from The Stranger.
