The Greenwood-Phinney Chamber of Commerce has announced the 61st Annual Greenwood Seafair Parade to take place on Wednesday, July 27 and calls out to the community for volunteers and sponsors.

The parade, which is the oldest neighborhood Seafair parade in the region, runs south along Greenwood Avenue from North 95th Street to North 85th Street, then heads west to 6th Avenue Northwest. Businesses and individual support is needed to make this event a success year after year, and getting involved is a great way for families to teach their kids about the importance of community involvement.

“We are looking forward to this year’s event and want to invite folks to be involved,” said parade director Ann Woodward.

“You can volunteer on the parade committee or become a parade sponsor and take advantage of promoting your business. Sponsors get to have an entry in the parade and enjoy the cheers of the crowd.”

As of March 1st, the event's sponsors are Fred Meyer, Swedish Hospital/Ballard Campus, Bleacher’s Pub, and Naked City Brewery & Taphouse.

Thousands of people typically line the route. The parade features over 100 entrants including bands, drill teams, floats, pirates, princesses, Mexican Dancing horses and more.
