SUMMARY:Mural Masters to bring incredible new art to Downtown Burien weekend of June 20-22
DESCRIPTION:Downtown Burien is preparing to once again transform into a vibrant\, open-air gallery as the annual Mural Masters Festival returns the weekend of June 20-22\, 2025 for its next three-day run.  \nThe event\, hosted in the city’s Art Alley within the Burien Creative District\, will bring together over 20 local and international artists who will create fresh murals that brighten alleyways\, town squares\, and storefronts throughout the city. \nNow a staple in Burien’s creative identity\, the Mural Masters Festival has become more than a celebration of street art — it’s a movement aimed at shaping community character\, inspiring civic pride\, and boosting economic development through public art. \nEach mural remains on display for a full year\, after which new artwork is rotated in\, ensuring a continually refreshed visual landscape for both residents and visitors. \nDesigned to be accessible and inclusive\, the event offers free programming and invites everyone to experience the live creation of murals over the course of the festival. \nIn addition to celebrating creativity\, the initiative supports anti-graffiti efforts and contributes to making public spaces more inviting. \n\n\n\nSupport the Cause\nOrganizers are also calling on supporters in Burien and beyond to help fund this year’s event through community donations. Contributions are tax-deductible through the festival’s fiscal sponsor. \n“Burien Faithful and abroad\, please help us raise community donations for this year’s festival.

SUMMARY:Fourth Annual Men in Black Birthday Bash is Saturday\, June 21
DESCRIPTION:The fourth annual festival celebrating the anniversary of the world’s first encounter with the iconic Men in Black is Saturday\, June 21\, 2025\, at the Quarterdeck in Des Moines.  \nThe Men In Black Birthday Bash (MIBBB) is the main event of the week-long MIBBB Fest 2025. Bash attendees come dressed as Men in Black or other black-and-white attire and enjoy themed music\, comedy bits\, quirky traditions\, light bites\, and surprises. \nThe MIBBB program launches at exactly 6:22 p.m. (corresponding with 6/22\, the date the first MIB reportedly appeared in the Pacific Northwest) with a ceremonial collective countdown to the “Great Synchronization.” \nLoosely structured as an annual meeting of a decades-old secret organization representing the “Men and Women in Black Worldwide” (the “MAW-IBW Chapter 1947”)\, the Bash is part birthday party\, performance art\, and variety show. Irreverent surprises are the norm. Traditions have included: \n\nEach attendee receives a mission box with curated event-related swag.\nAn annual report of MIB news and the status of grievances with Roswell’s “UFO-industrial complex.”\nTrays of chocolate-covered donuts\, a reference to the FBI’s 1947 description of the Maury Island UFOs.\nThe coveted MIBBBY Awards for the best Men/Women in Black costume.\nDancing to Johnny Rivers’ “Secret Agent Man\,” the official song of the MAW-IBW.\nLifetime achievement awards (the first was given to Dan Akroyd\, who did not attend and has yet to pick up his trophy).\nThe finale: an annual warning and prediction\, fueled by “scientific findings\,” of precisely how long until the alien invasion.\n\nMIBBB Fest commemorates the first recorded sighting of a Man in Black. On June 22\, 1947\, a Tacoma man\, Harold Dahl\, was visited by a man dressed in a black suit and fedora the day after Dahl allegedly saw six UFOs over Puget Sound. Known as “The Maury Island Incident\,” the encounter was the first UFO sighting during the Summer of the Saucers\, when thousands of UFO incidents were reported worldwide. \nOrganizers have adopted the theme “Sparky’s Revenge” for this year’s MIBBB Fest and will pause to remember the beloved family dog allegedly struck by debris from a Maury Island UFO. \nThe encounter inspired the award-winning film The Maury Island Incident\, written by local historian and MIBBB Fest co-founder Steve Edmiston and directed by Burien resident Scott Schaefer. \nOver 9 days\, additional 2025 MIBBB Fest Events include:\n\nJune 13\, 5:30 p.m.\, Alien Abductee Colleen Rafferty Look-alike Contest: Marina Mercantile\, Des Moines.
