This year will be the second year that Lake Stevens will feature a National Night Out Against Crime, held in August, in conjunction with those in communities across the country. Last year’s event featured games and activities for younger children, a street dance for teens, demonstrations and crime prevention information. It’s a great way to get out, meet your neighbors and learn how to stay safe!
Downtown Businesses Safe Halloween is popular with kids who still go out trick or treating. Downtown businesses pass out treats and the local grocer, Jay’s Market, takes wonderful, free photos of kids in costumes! Last year they took nearly 700 photos! The downtown businesses also decorate, and area nonprofit groups hold a fun-fair carnival at Community Hall.
The Dickens Fair is held the first Saturday in December at the Lake Stevens High School. This craft fair has become so popular that if you don’t go early there won’t be much left to buy. All items sold are handmade, which may provide very special Christmas gifts.
The annual Christmas Tree Lighting usually happens the first Saturday in December. Look for dates and times of these events in the Lake Stevens Journal.
For those who enjoy the theatre, the Performing Arts Center (PAC) at Lake Stevens High School provides varied opportunities for local residents throughout the year. Dance, drama, musical performances and other professional acts are scheduled monthly. While many of the performances are school-related or school-based, residents are encouraged to attend or participate in both school and private performances. The PAC seats 450 and is an excellent facility and investment for our community’s cultural events.
