Positive energy and creative ideas will be generated at the Fremont Solstice Parade Open House, Saturday and Sunday, May 21-22, 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., at the Fremont Arts Council Powerhouse, 3940 Fremont Ave N. in Seattle. No appointment needed. Drop in anytime.  With live music in the afternoon, the open house will help your vision come to life as an entry in this year’s parade.

Generate ideas, dream, start building your entry in this year’s annual Fremont Solstice Parade, or join a group that’s already working on a project. Visitors are welcome to check out all the cool stuff in the
Powerhouse: watch parade videos, discover more about international parade arts and festivals, costumes, giant puppets, and generally, get inspired. Donations of parade art, costumes, “goo gahs,” and other materials are welcome. Here’s how the weekend will shake out:
