Event Information

You discern it when you drive in and see bridges dominating the skyline. You experience it when you stroll Sixth Avenue, visit the farmers markets, sip beer in one of the many breweries, skateboard down the hills, meander along Pacific Avenue, listen to the Tacoma Symphony performing in the Pantages Theater, ride along bicycle lanes, or relax in thousands of acres of parks. Live here for a few weeks, experience the city’s charms, and boom, it just hits you: Tacoma is special. Over the years, a remarkable number of Tacomans have incubated big, visionary ideas about how to shape this potential-oozing town. Even more have actually done it, albeit on a smaller scale. Saturday, Sept. 19, Wingman Brewers held its annual Made in Tacoma mini-market. It was special. It was Tacoma.
