Everett Sausage Festival: Get your Bavarian on this weekend at the 35th annual festival. In addition to sausage (of course) you’ll find family-friendly activities such as children’s games, carnival rides and kid-friendly music. There’s also music for the adults, a beer garden, bingo and a wine bar. Find the details in our story here.

Fall Mushroom Show: Learn more about mushrooms on Sunday. More than 100 different types of mushrooms along with demonstrations and lectures are all part of the annual show. Over 150 species of wild mushroom will be on display, plus cultivation kit sales, T-shirts, books, and arts and crafts sales. Members of the public are welcome to bring their own fungal discoveries for possible identification by an expert. Read more in our story here.

Pumpkin patches and corn mazes: Fall is truly here. Make the most of it with a traditional visit to a pumpkin patch, or go get lost in a corn maze. Take a look at our list here.

Make Your Own Glass Pumpkin: A team of glassblowers will help visitors design and blow their own glass pumpkins, with all supplies provided, on Saturday and next weekend. Reservations are recommended. Read our story here.

Silvertips: Watch the Tips take on the Kamloops Blazers at 7 p.m. Saturday at Comcast Arena. Read up on how the Tips are doing here.

The Everett Philharmonic: The philharmonic opens its second season Saturday with a concert featuring works by Beethoven. The concert will include Beethoven’s Symphony No. 7, which has been made popular again as part of the soundtrack for “The King’s Speech.” The popular stageside chats with the maestro and the featured soloists continue this season before the concerts begin.
