Light and dance come together in a luminous retelling of Sleeping Beauty, where glowing costumes turn every step and spin into a radiant display. Guided by classical technique and enhanced with modern technology, the story unfolds through expressive choreography performed by six talented local dancers. Presented at Lindbergh Theatre, the event welcomes ages 5 and up, and attendees under 16 must be accompanied by an adult. The venue is ADA accessible. Seating is first come, first served within each zone, so arriving early is recommended. Multiple dates and times are available.

Set in the Pacific Northwest, the World Parrot Expo is the region’s largest event devoted to parrots and doubles as Flight Club Foundation’s biggest fundraiser of the year. Admission for the general public is free, and families can discover more than 50 live animals from around the world with plenty of opportunities to learn. The experience spans two floors featuring educational offerings from brands, knowledgeable experts, and, of course, lots of live parrots. A fundraising deep dive with speaker sessions is also available, and registration for those talks is fully tax deductible, supporting parrots in human care and global parrot resources. Registration is offered in early bird, regular, and late tiers, and the same options are open to sponsors and exhibitors. Earlier commitments unlock added benefits for sponsor and exhibitor partners. Spix Macaw level sponsors who contribute 2,000 dollars or more are listed on posters and can host a featured area such as the Parrots of the World aviary.
