Welcome to Seattle Center
Embrace our ethnic diversity and cultivate a deeper understanding of the cultures that contribute to the vibrancy of our region at Seattle Center Festál. The 2022 theme, "Where the World Gathers" links together the series of 24 free festivals presented throughout the year, each with a unique cultural focus, identity, and range of engaging activities. Share in holistic experiences rooted in age-old and contemporary traditions and enjoy culture through food, music, dance, art, film and more.
Seattle Center Festál is produced in partnership between Seattle Center and the 24 cultural organizations, with support from 4Culture, the City of Seattle, and Seattle Center Foundation. Festál is also part of the ArtsFund Cultural Partners Network.
Seattle Center commemorates 25 years of the Festál series in 2022, ushering in a new era of hybrid programs and an anticipated return to in-person festivals. Seattle Center Festál is where the world will gather to celebrate the people, the places, the stories, the traditions, and 25 years of innovation. We invite you to participate and create new memories with us.
