From July 19 to 26, Seattle becomes a big stage for all kinds of experiences: from music and street festivals to fairs, outdoor cinema, and theatrical productions in parks. The week’s lineup includes major city events—like food and arts festivals at Seattle Center—as well as more intimate formats where you can unwind with a blanket, listen to concerts, or join outdoor performances. And in between, there are plenty of reasons to head to the waterfronts, catch a show, and support local communities at multinational events.
