It doesn’t matter when you’re visiting – there will always be a festival, performance or sporting event happening on any given day, with unlimited opportunities to experience Seattle’s fantastic art and culture.
If you’re visiting in February, you can’t miss the Lunar New Year, where the city’s Chinatown comes to life in celebration. This month is also host to Chocofest – the chocoholic’s-dream-come-true annual festival where local restaurants, chocolatiers, brewers, wineries, and distilleries serve up their delightful treats in aid of Puget Soundkeeper.
In June, for more than two weeks, the Seattle International Dance Festival comes to town, with dancers from around the world (and some local stars) will perform in indoor and outdoor venues, with a focus on innovation and diversity—expect to be inspired!
In November, the Short Run Comix and Arts Festival celebrates indie comics, small press and handmade books, which showcases emerging and established artists from near and far.
