SeafoodFest is a Ballard tradition, and one of Seattle’s most iconic, eclectic and FREE Summer festivals!

SeafoodFest began in 1974 as a community celebration of Ballard’s historic connection to the fishing industry and the neighborhood’s Nordic roots. Today, this free two-day festival attracts over 65,000 people who come to enjoy the traditional salmon barbecue and much more: local music, arts and crafts, family entertainment, a beer garden, a skate event, and yes – more seafood!

Oh wait. Did we tell you the event is free?  Well, it is. We think you should spend your hard-earned cash on seafood…like salmon and crab. See you this weekend.
