SEATTLE — A beloved Seattle summer tradition is returning for its 76th year, with “bigger, better and bolder” experiences.

Seafair has become a multi-week festival celebrating all-things boating and airshows. Organizers say this year’s festival will have more events, more days, and more ways to celebrate.

Also new this year is an airshow performance from Bellingham professional aerobatic pilot, Melissa Dawn Burns, and a contest hosted by professional wakeboarder Shuan Murray.

Fan favorites are also returning this year, like the Torchlight Run. As the prelude to the legendary Torchlight Parade, the Seafair Torchlight Run invites runners and walkers of all ages and abilities to hit the streets in costume, and in the company of thousands of Parade spectators lining the streets to cheer them on.



Dates to Remember:

  • Friday, June 20 — Seafair Kickoff Celebration | 11 a.m., Pier 62 in Seattle
  • Saturday, July 26 — Alaska Airlines Seafair Torchlight Parade | 7:30 p.m., Seattle Waterfront

The new community partnerships allow Seafair to expand its events at the 4th of July celebration held at Lake Union Park.

Seafair kicks off on June 20 and has events through at least Aug. 1.
