Written By rambling seattle

This is the unofficial start of the summer season in Seattle. The Folklife Festival is the first of the big civic gatherings of the summer and is one of the city’s major events. The Seattle Center is filled with music, dance, and crafts from all over the world and of course, food, food, food! The Bite of Seattle, which is food-centered, and Bumbershoot, which is music-centered also happen here and mark the unofficial mid-point and unofficial end of the summer festival season. Enjoy this walk through one of the iconic Seattle festivals!
