Seattle Events Calendar

March 2012

The trees are starting to bud, and St. Patrick's Day looms! The Seattle Events Calendar March will help you find fun things to do.

Enjoy the St. Patrick's Day Parade, Irish Week, or PNB's Snow White.

If you like art, check out Fremont's Art Walk or see the Gauguin exhibit at Seattle Art Museum.

March is packed with shows, concerts, family activities and much more - enough to keep you busy every day and then some!

Got an event we should know about? If you'd like to add it to our Seattle Events Calendar, please tell us about it here!
