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. See the link below to make a donation and support the cause\,” organizers said. \nhttps://poweredbyshunpike.org/c/PBS/a/muralmasters/donate/\nFor more information\, visit www.muralmasters.org or email muralmasters5@gmail.com.

SUMMARY:‘Sparky’s Revenge’ Dog Disc Tournament on Sunday\, June 22 will pay tribute to 1947 Maury Island Incident victim
DESCRIPTION:In 1947\, a Tacoma man reported seeing six flying discs while boating off Maury Island. He claimed molten slag from one of the discs fell on the boat\, killing his dog\, “Sparky.”  \nThe historic “Maury Island Incident” launched the “Summer of the Saucers\,” and the first alleged encounter with a mysterious Man in Black. \nThis year’s Men In Black Birthday Bash (aka MIBBB Fest) will pay homage to Sparky with a new event. On Sunday\, June 22\, the final day of MIBBB Fest\, Destination Des Moines will host Sparky’s Revenge\, a flying disc dog tournament at the Des Moines Field House. The fantastic frisbee-catching dogs will be members of the Summit Disc Dog club. \nThis is a free\, non-ticketed event – just show up! \n“It was 78 years ago that Sparky was killed by a flying disc. Giving the dogs a chance to bite a flying disc back just made sense\,” said MIBBB Fest co-founder Steve Edmiston. “This tragic story has been largely forgotten to history. We’ve been looking for a way to honor Sparky for several years. We are grateful to Destination Des Moines fand Summit Disc Dogs for bringing this idea to life.” \n\n\n\nThe tournament will be held at the Des Moines Field House (map below) from 11 a.m.–1p.m. on Sunday\, June 22. The event is free\, and the public is invited to watch. No ticket is required. \n“The Summit Disc Dog Club has been competing in the K9 Frisbee Toss & Fetch Worldwide League\, which is the largest dog sport on planet earth\, since June of 2021\,” Summit Disc Dogs founder and team captain David Story said. “The sport is great for both owners and dogs\, and fun to watch. We can’t wait to share it with MIBBB Fest! It’s a friendly environment\, but it’s also fun to compete; we compete in 7 seasons every year that each last for 5 weeks in duration. Our club has won 10 different division championships and is currently ranked No. 5 of over 300 different clubs worldwide.” \n\n\n\nMIBBB Fest 2025 features multiple events\, running June 13-22. The annual festival commemorates the Maury Island Incident. \nMIBBB Fest kicks off June 13 with an alien abductee lookalike contest inspired by recurring SNL character Colleen Rafferty\, played by Kate McKinnon. The festival is anchored by its signature cosplay event\, the Men in Black Birthday Bash (MIBBB) on June 21. \nGet the details on all MIBBB Fest events here.\nMore info:\n\nVisit the MIBBB Fest website\nFollow MIBBB on Facebook \nFollow MIBBB on Instagram\n\nAbout MIBBB Fest\nHeld each year in Des Moines\, Washington\, MIBBB Fest commemorates history’s first alleged encounter with the so-called Men in Black\, the infamous 1947 Maury Island Incident\, and the top-secret government intervention that followed.
