Starting June 26, Seattle and the surrounding area turn into a huge stage for culinary, sporting, and cultural experiences: from premieres and festivals of new work to pirate processions, food fairs, and big summer concerts. The calendar includes evening events like After Hours at the aquarium, packed two-day weekend-style celebrations, and outdoor happenings where it’s easy to plan your day according to your mood. You won’t have to choose between spectacle and atmosphere: theater and music sit alongside markets, strolls, and family activities.
