Hey there families, and welcome to Erika’s Picks. For years, I’ve been on the lookout for the best family-friendly events happening each weekend around the greater Seattle area. Whether you’re looking to explore a new park, attend a fun workshop, or catch a local performance, I’ve got you covered. Each week, I’ll share my handpicked activities that are sure to keep the little ones entertained, engaged, and maybe even learning something new along the way. So, grab your calendar, gather up your crew, and get ready for a weekend full of fun! Let’s dive into Seattle family events for this weekend, March 29-30, 2025.
Everett MathFest
- Saturday, March 29, 10 a.m. to 12 p.m.
- Cascade High School, Everett
- FREE, register online
If you love numbers, don’t miss MathFest this Saturday. Powered by Zeno and in partnership with Everett Public Schools, MathFest is a free math celebration for kids ages 3-8 and their families. The event, happening at Cascade High School in Everett, is full of fun math games for kids and adults, plus there will be prizes and activities to boost enthusiasm for, and confidence in, math.
Oddmall: Emporium of the Weird
- Saturday March 29 & Sunday March 30, from 10 a.m. – 5 p.m.
- Evergreen State Fairgrounds, Monroe
- FREE
It’s impossible to give a complete description of what you’ll find at any given Oddmall, but essentially the event strives to showcase arts, crafts, and products that are a bit different from what you’d find at your local country craft fair. Basically, the weird is welcome. This weekend’s Oddmall is all about Tabletop Games. Head on up to the Evergreen State Fairgrounds in Monroe and come play a game! This event is free, with prizes and fun. It will feature over 170 different local artists, performers, door prizes, food trucks and more, not to mention all the fantastic table top games. Don’t forget to check out the artist workshops and demonstrations. Note to parents — there will be booths with swear words and art that deals with bathing suit areas. Event hosts say “If you’re the kind of family that has watched one or more of the ‘Deadpool’ movies together, then this is the family-friendly event for YOU!”

Moisture Festival is at the Broadway Performance Hall on Capitol Hill this weekend. Presented as a variety show, the acts and artists vary from performance to performance and part of the joy of the Festival is that you never know who or what you’ll see on stage. From aerialists to jugglers, magicians to comedians, all the weird and wonderful will be on display. This weekend you might even see local favorite, Alex Zerbe, ‘The Zaniac’ who was voted the Pacific Northwest’s Funniest Prop Comic. So, don’t miss out, get your tickets today.
