Weekend events roundup: Gear up for Cranksgiving and more holiday fun

Seattle's weekend is packed with engaging events, starting with Julefest at the National Nordic Museum, celebrating handmade crafts and traditional Nordic delicacies, featuring local artisans, live music, and a special guest from the North Pole. The Cranksgiving food drive invites cyclists to join a fun scavenger hunt supporting local food banks, combining exercise with philanthropy. Participants can choose a 12-15 mile ride or a shorter option, with no registration fee required, just a request to bring about $20 worth of groceries to donate. Other holiday markets and craft fairs are also happening, offering residents numerous opportunities to connect and celebrate together during this festive season. Check local listings for further details and updates on these exciting activities.
