📍 Seattle Center, Seattle, Washington
Since 1972, the annual Northwest Folklife Festival has been a community-powered celebration of the music, arts, and heritage that make up the brilliant cultural tapestry of the greater Pacific Northwest. With over 5,000 performers on 20+ stages, 200 vendors, 500 volunteers, and upwards of 200,000 attendees, this remains one of the largest free, access-for-all festivals in the nation. The festival is more than a celebration of the diversity of the Pacific Northwest, it’s a chance to engage directly with the many communities that make up our region. This is the place to find your folk. Each year hundreds of vendors from the Pacific Northwest participate in Northwest Folklife, selling foods from all over the world, handmade craft items and specialty goods.
