Events in Seattle
Brook Green DMC Seattle · Sarah Maragoni
Seattle hosts a variety of events — from major film, music and cultural festivals to waterfront spectacles and celebrations of the Pacific Northwest's creative identity. Seattle International Film Festival, Seafair and Bumbershoot each reveal a different side of a city shaped by innovation, independent culture and its dramatic relationship with the water.
Seattle's event calendar moves naturally between landmark venues, neighbourhood stages, Seattle Center and the shores of Lake Washington. For corporate groups, these occasions can be paired with Pike Place experiences, private cruises, glass-art venues and mountain or island extensions that make every program feel distinctive.
We carefully select which events to publish, focusing on the most significant and interesting ones for incentive travel planners, meeting professionals and leisure operators.
