West Seattle Summer Fest offers music, shopping and family fun
Wed, 06/16/2010
The 28th Annual West Seattle Summer Fest is coming at you again July 9-11, hosted by the West Seattle Junction Association.
Giving the event a powerful kickoff Friday night is the AC/DC female tribute band Hells Belles.
Summer Fest is host to dozens of bands (see the lineup below), hundreds of merchants and artists, and over 30,000 attendees. This year people attending will enjoy a food court, beer gardens and plenty of family activities.
Live music on two stages, a skateboard exhibition, and a large kid friendly family activity area are all part of the show this year. The Saturday Night Street Dance will be on two stages.
Closing out the show on Sunday July 11 are The School Of Rock All Stars (performing Live Aid Remade, with songs by David Bowie, Queen, Judas Priest, U2 and more).
The West Seattle Summer Fest started as the West Seattle Sidewalk Sale in 1983. Over time more and more activities were added, and more people began attending until it grew into what is now the West Seattle Summer Fest, voted “favorite annual event” by West Seattle Herald readers and attracting visitors from the entire Puget Sound region.
