Everett, it’s the season finale! Sail-In Cinema closes out its 11th year at Boxcar Park with Zootopia 2 (PG, 1 hr 48 min) — and the littles can come early for facepainting with Giggles Entertainment. It’s the only waterfront movie series in Snohomish County, free and family-friendly to the very end. Dress in layers and pack a blanket (it gets chilly on the waterfront at night), and please stick to blankets or low-back chairs so everyone can see the screen. Sailing in? There’s limited guest moorage at Guest Dock 7, first-come, first-served. Movie starts at 8:40 p.m. Presented by the Port of Everett and signature sponsor PND Engineers.
Downtown Everett clears the streets and turns the whole neighborhood into a party, and Saturday is the full eight-hour version. Summer in the City takes over Wetmore Plaza and the surrounding blocks with live music from KateGory 7, Aftershock NW, Butter Notes Jazz and more, plus art, sidewalk sales, a beer garden, and a kid zone stacked with inflatables, giant Jenga, face painting, a balloon artist, and a Nerf blaster range. Bring the kids, text your friends, or make it a date night and wander until you find your new favorite downtown spot. Saturday runs noon-8 p.m., and it all lines up with Fresh Paint at Schack Art Center, so there is an extra dose of creativity happening a few blocks over. Come for one thing, stay for it all.
Village Theatre’s KIDSTAGE SummerStock program takes on Anastasia, and if you have not seen what these young performers can do, this is the year to find out. The sweeping score, the Russian revolution backdrop, the question of who the girl on the train really is — all of it plays out on the Everett Performing Arts Center stage for ten days only.
Everett run: August 14–23, 2026. Check the Village Theatre site for exact showtimes.

It’s the jukebox musical nobody asked for! First there was Mamma Mia!, then Jersey Boys, then Beautiful: The Carole King Musical—and now, at last, there’s We Ain’t Ever Gonna Break Up, the bio-musical that charts the fictional lives of the most famous folk duo that never existed, chock full of the absolute best songs from their completely fictional catalogue.
From their earliest days performing Christian folk through an unforgettably muddy performance at Woodstock to their hysterically misguided children’s television show, Saul Hymon and Bart Parfunkel have lived (and sung!) through it all. Expect an evening of ear-to-ear smiles and belly-laughs as Hymon and Parfunkel—in tour-de-force performances by writers Gregg Hammer and Louis Pardo—satirically skewer the jukebox musical while playing every role (and every instrument!) in this brand-new feel-good buddy show.
Will the perfect fictional folk duo find superstardom, or will they break up? You’ll have to come see to find out!
Audience Note: We Ain’t Ever Gonna Break Up has some minor adult language and themes.

Swedish singer-songwriter Sofia Talvik returns to the U.S. with her Songs, Strings & Stories Tour 2026, following a winter tour in Germany supporting her Christmas album “Wrapped in Paper”—which reached No. 3 on the Folk Radio Charts (Dec 2025) and earned praise from The New York Times and NPR.
A rare artist and gifted storyteller, Talvik brings a voice often compared to legends like Joni Mitchell, delivering a performance that feels both timeless and deeply personal.
Expect an intimate, one-of-a-kind evening reminiscent of ’70s coffeehouses and speakeasies, where music and storytelling take center stage. With ethereal vocals, warm acoustic guitar, and a sound blending Nordic folk with American roots, this show is equal parts reflective and quietly powerful.

Fans of Monty Python, Mr. Bean, and Dr. Seuss… Grab your teacups! Combining British propriety with an unabashed love for the unexpected, London’s 3-time Impresario Award-winning duo steep an outrageously funny and brilliantly inventive show reminiscent of classic British pantos. Rich in wordplay, comic physicality, and cleverly crafted interactive elements, O Christmas Tea is uproarious fun, yet it is the duo’s boundless imagination and endearing chemistry that provide the real magic and heart of this play. O Christmas Tea: A British Comedy is coming to light up the stage in Everett on December 12th (7:30PM) and 13th (Noon)!

“Outrageously funny, magnificently written, beautifully choreographed.” ★★★★★ London Free Press
“An ode to the idea that anything is possible.” ★★★★★ Torontoist
“I cannot think of a show that will leave you more profoundly happy than this.” ★★★★★ Stage Door
Hailed as “a child’s imagination on steroids” by London Free Press and “a masterpiece of physical comedy” by Theatre In London, critics rave for the charismatic James & Jamesy.

It’s almost like being in love! Dance your way back in time to one of the most romantic musicals ever written, Lerner and Loewe’s Brigadoon. Americans Tommy and Jeff are hiking the Scottish Highlands, when out of the mists they stumble upon the enchanting village of Brigadoon, which appears for only one day every 100 years. But this dreamlike place is far more than it seems—and those who fall in love there might never be the same.
From the writers of My Fair Lady and Camelot comes this soaring love story, full of glorious ballet and favorite tunes like “Come to Me, Bend to Me,” “The Heather on the Hill” and “Almost Like Being in Love.” This production features an exquisite new adaptation, which enhances all the romance and magic that makes Brigadoon a truly timeless masterpiece.
