This weekend in Yakima, WA

A casual meet-up for fans of classic, performance, muscle, and exotic cars, along with bikes and trucks, takes place at Yakima Coffee Company. Explore standout vehicles, connect with fellow enthusiasts, and enjoy coffee from the café as you talk shop. Participants are asked to respect the property, avoid loud music, and be considerate of the surrounding neighborhood.

Enjoy a seasonal craft faire hosted by Holy Family. Vendors should stay alert for scams, since the only authorized contact for vendor spots is Monique Stine, and no online payments are accepted for vendor spots.

The inaugural Hot for a Cause 5K is a summer run and walk that supports Yakima Union Gospel Mission and neighbors in the Yakima Valley who endure extreme heat without access to shelter, safety, or support. Taking place at the same venue as Cold for a Cause, it shines a light on the challenges of surviving high temperatures for those living outdoors. While many people seek air conditioning for relief, thousands face long days and sleepless nights exposed to the elements. Each registration helps fund shelter, meals, outreach, and recovery services, bringing hope to men, women, and children experiencing homelessness and hardship. Whether running, walking, or cheering from the sidelines, participation helps make a tangible difference for those who face the heat every day.

It is a place where fandoms connect, creativity flourishes, and the Pacific Northwest community celebrates what it loves.
