An inflatable climbing wall is part of the kids activities at the Ballard Seafood Festival this weekend.
Polka anyone? How about a lutefisk eating contest? You can learn the dance and eat the fish at the 33rd annual Ballard Seafood Fest. The theme, "Feed Your Inner Viking," honors Ballard's Scandinavian and maritime heritage.
This year's fest has more food, more booths and lots of entertainment on three stages. Entertainment highlights include: Grammy-winning band Brave Combo, at 3:15 p.m. Saturday; and Wylie & the Wild West Show at 5:30 p.m. Sunday.
On the family stage, the Kings of Crab, Captains Larry Hendricks, Sig Hansen and Phil Harris from the Discovery Channel's "Deadliest Catch," will tell tales of the sea and answer questions at 6 p.m. Saturday.
For kids: carnival games, giant inflatables, toy-boat building, rock climbing and other activities all weekend.
Ballard Seafood Fest, 11 a.m.-8 p.m. Saturday and 11 a.m.-7 p.m. Sunday, 2208 N.W. Market St., Seattle; free (206-784-9705 or www.seafoodfest.org).
