Tacoma Arts Month In the Cooler: Oct. 4

*Arts Month explodes today: music, dance, drag, painting, poetry — Tacoma’s creative cosmos spilling through the library stacks in a family-friendly swirl of color and noise.*

Kaleidoscope Opening Party | Saturday, Oct. 4 | Tacoma Public Library Main, 1-4 p.m.

All October long, Peaks & Pints pairs Tacoma Arts Month happenings with beers from our 13-door cooler — because art deserves a pint after the applause, and beer tastes better when it carries a story from the stage, the gallery, or the street.

Kaleidoscope is the big bang of Arts Month — a family-friendly storm of music, dance, drag, painting, and poetry bursting through the library stacks. It’s Tacoma’s creative cosmos in miniature, hands covered in paint, voices lifted in harmony, science and heritage colliding with jazz and joy. For three hours the Main Library becomes a carnival of imagination, proving yet again that Tacoma refuses to whisper when it can sing.

Cooler Pairing: pFriem Citrus Zest Saison
After the confetti settles, the library doors close, and the kids are at the grandparents’. Join us at Peaks & Pints. Today’s kaleidoscopic swirl pairs perfectly with pFriem Citrus Zest Saison — sparkling, lemon-bright, and farmhouse-fizzy, a bottle of sunshine that pops like paint on a canvas. It’s the perfect way to toast the opening blast of Arts Month, every sip a fresh burst of color.
