Thu, 06/18/2009
West Seattle's Summer Fest is coming to the Alaska Junction from July 10, 11 and 12.
Now in its 27th year, West Seattle Summer Fest is host to dozens of bands, hundreds of merchants and artists, and more than 30,000 attendees. Complete with food courts, beer gardens, and family activities, it is a true community celebration in the heart of West Seattle.
Each day Junction merchants will open their doors and spill out onto their sidewalks to display the products and services that they offer year-round, while artists and artisans display in the streets.
Junction restaurants and a delectable selection of cross-cultural food vendors will be serving salmon burgers, and much more. The festival also includes a beer and wine garden.
The festival will feature live music on two stages, a skateboard exhibition, and a full block of family activities make each day special. The annual Saturday Night Street Dance and of course West Seattle’s own Sunday Farmer’s Market will also be part of the festivities.
Hours:
July 10 and July 11, 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.
Saturday Night Street Dance, July 11, 8 p.m.
July 12, 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.
