And the Winner Is...
...for the fifth year in a row...the title of Best Event with the Worst Name goes to: Moisture Festival! Sure, they coulda dubbed it "RainFest" or "WetFest" or even "Pourapalooza" -- but no. Ballard don't care. Catch this comedy/varietè extravaganza featuring local, national and international dancers, clowns, comedians, aerialists, jugglers, magicians and circus performers -- YEOW! You cannot miss this! Hale's Palladium (in Hale's Brewery), 4301 Leary Way N.W., Seattle. $5-$20. March 27-April 13, Wednesdays-Sundays 7:30 p.m. ; some 3:30 p.m. matinees. No kids at the 10:30 p.m. shows.
 
Get Giggy Wit It
It's a bounce extravaganza! Dig Whirligig, which packs the Center House full of huge inflatable toys for kids to play in, live music and more (also a Starbucks to get the adults bouncy, too!). Visit early in the day and early in the week to avoid the hordes, and psst....Thursdays are free! $7.25 unlimited day-use pass, $4.25 toddler pass, $1.50 single use ticket. All ages.

McCawj Mahal
Free matinee for the kiddies by the Seattle Men's Chorus and Seattle Women's Chorus, plus Jet City Improv's hee-larious (and kid-friendly) theatrics.

McCaw Hall, 321 Mercer St., Seattle. 206-388-1400. Saturday, March 29, 2 p.m.
 
Spin is In!
More twirling, this time on the ice. Practice that fetching "whooop! whooop!" you've been working on while your little ones skate circles around you! Special all-day skate sessions this week for spring break. (We think -- the arena says schedule is subject to change without notice, so call to confirm.) Adults $6, ages 6-12 $5.50, skate rental $3.

Magnuson Opus
And the jumpin' just won't stop this week...inflatables rule the day at this community carnival. Play carnival games, bounce, have a treat, get your face painted (go for the glitter unicorn!), and more. Located in Hangar 30 at the park. 25 cents/ticket (some games, you'll need more than one). Ages 6-10. Magnuson Community Center, 7110 62nd Ave. N.E., Seattle. 206-684-7026. Wednesday, April 2, 12:30-3 p.m.
