3. Come and shop a great selection of local vendors while enjoying light snacks and a signature cocktail. 21+, please no children as this event tends to get crowded and there are adult beverages being served.

4. Spaceworks Tacoma is throwing a party! They are hosting a Cakewalk extravaganza, co-hosted by JD Elquist and Travis Pranger of Electricbranch Creative. Here's how it works: local artists and cakemakers have donated amazing artworks and fabulous cakes. Taking a cue from elementary school cakewalks everywhere, party-goers will buy tickets to "walk" in either a cakewalk ($5) or an artwalk ($20). The "walker" that lands on the right number will get to pick their favorite cake or artwork, respectively. Free admission, 6-9 p.m., Electric Branch Creative, 311 S. 7th Street, Tacoma, www.spaceworkstacoma.com

5. "Since the passing of the King more than 35 years ago, there has never been a tribute artist that has so captivated the look, moves, and sound of the King more than Justin Shandor." According to the “Jordinaires,” Elvis’s original background singers, with whom Justin has performed with on several occasions, Justin has the raw talent that shot Elvis to the top. His likeness to the King is so close that at one time Graceland emailed a casino where Justin was performing and told them they could not use a real picture of Elvis to advertise the event. It was a picture of Justin! 7 p.m. $25-$35, Washington Center for the Performing Arts, 512 Washington St. S.E.(360) 753-8586.
