Best Bets for Sept. 9 – Sept. 11 | THE BAINBRIDGE BLAB

Slinging beers, polar bear henchmen and radio hour.

Guten tag, autumn. Bainbridge Island Brewing celebrates the dawn of the season with Oktoberfest, from 2 to 9 p.m. Friday. Sup on special beers and snacks while Rye & Barley play German tunes (4 to 7 p.m. only).

The stereotypes in “Zootopia” are on-point, starting with the excruciating sloths that staff the DMV. There’s also a bunny on a mission to enforce the law and a wily fox in this Disney movie about a bustling metropolis where predator and prey live in harmony. Here’s our bet: You’ll like this clever denunciation of species-ism more than your little kid. The outdoor Battle Point Park Screening begins at dusk. Bring a seat.

Funk monster Plutons Trio and Blues-meister Rafael Tranquilino Band (“Best Blues Act” 2016, according to the Washington Blues Society) will hit up Rolling Bay Hall Friday at 8 p.m.

If you still haven’t seen Barbara Earl Thomas’ “Heaven on Fire” exhibition, Sunday would be a great time to go. KUOW’s Marcie Sillman interviews the featured artist for Front Row Center in the Bainbridge Island Museum of Art auditorium from 2 until 3 p.m. Your cultural education is free.
