Starting July 5, 2026, the city of Seattle and the surrounding area will literally shift into “summer mode”: from tastings and intimate concerts to festivals, parades, and sea cruises. The lineup includes walks through iconic neighborhoods, street performances, and outdoor movie screenings, as well as sports and family-friendly events—and a whole series of food and music reasons to spend an evening outdoors. Over the next few weeks, it’s easy to build your own route—from Pike Place Market to the Waterfront, and from parks to nearby cities.
You can conveniently follow the selection and double-check up-to-date details via the events listing: https://www.events12.com/seattle/.
