Looking for something to do this weekend? Here are a few ideas:

1. After work today, round up your kids and head down to Fremont because it’s the place to be this evening.

To kick off the evening in holiday spirit, there the lighting of the Lenin statue. With the help of City Lights Sign Company and a couple of local artists, they’re bringing back the lights again this year with festivities in Lenin Square.
There will be live music and free refreshments such as Peet's coffee, sweetened mint tea, hot cocoa, and Mighty-O Donuts! Santa will make an appearance bearing oranges for the kids. Santa also has the honor of flipping the switch to light the statue.
Festivities start at 5 p.m. Lenin Lighting is at 5:30 p.m.

Also in Fremont tonight, Hub and Bespoke invite you to decorate your bike with lights, tinsel, candy canes or anything else creative you can come up with, and then strut your christmas bike during a ride around the neighborhood.
The Hub and Bespoke shop will be serving hot mulled wine during the festivities.

After the Lenin Lighting, Fremont invites you to stay for the First Friday Fremont Art Walk.
The participating venues are: 509 Winery and Tasting Room, Fremont Abbey Arts Center, NoteBleu, Frame-Up Studios, Kylie's Chicago Pizza, EVO Timesinfinity Art Gallery, Studio R, ActivSpaces, ArtFX Gallery, Fremont Jewelry Design, Dragonfly Holistic Healing, Urban Earth, and Fremont Brewing Co.

The Art Walk goes until 9 p.m and there will be wine tasting, refreshments and live music.

2. Theaters are showing an array of Holiday favorites but none of them is as unique as Sherlock Holmes and the Case of the Christmas Carol at the Taproot theatre.

Written by John Longenbaugh, the play is the clever blend of two classic stories: Arthur Doyle’s ‘Sherlock Holmes” and Charles Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol”.
The story takes place on Christmas Eve of the year 1894 on 221B Baker Street. After being presumed dead for three years, a hardened Sherlock Holmes resurfaces, turning his back on the people who need him most. Three unexpected callers arrive on Christmas Eve uncovering clues from the detective’s past, present and future.
Well-written and well-performed, the play is a solid two hours of entertainment. It’s witty in word-play and clever in Longenbaugh’s inclusion of World War I. The play will make you see a Scrooge-like side of Sherlock Holmes you hadn’t seen before.

Performance times are Friday & Saturday: 8:00 p.m. and Saturday Matinee: 2:00 p.m. www.taproottheatre.org

3. On Saturday, visit Ballard Oddfellows Hall for the Seattle Vintage Fashion Runway Show.
Featuring styles from the 1920s, ‘30s and ‘40s, the third Seattle Vintage Fasion show is your ticket to a trip back in fashion history to the Roaring 20’s, the somber 1930’s, the wartime 1940’s. These times are defined by dramatic change in American and European history. These were times of revolution in political and cultural norms as well as technology, mass media, music and dance.  Changes in fashion during this time were no exception.
The event starts at 7 p.m. at 1706 NW Market St.
