Seattle International Film Festival
Held from late May to mid-June, this festival (
www.seattlefilm.com
)
, the largest of its
kind in the nation, brings nearly a month's worth of international film premieres to
Seattle. Its HQ is the SIFF Theater in Seattle Center.
June
Showers can linger in the early part of June, but summer's in the post.
Fremont Street Fair
Off-kilter Fremont offers a June fair with live music, food and crafts, and the overtly
artsy Solstice Parade, where human-powered floats traipse through the neighborhood in
a lively tribute to quirkiness.
Seattle Pride Festival
Seattle's lesbian- and gay-pride event (
www.seattlepride.org
) usually falls on the last
Sunday in June and includes a film festival, art exhibit, parade and the requisite food
and entertainment.
July
Peak temperatures (75°F/24°C) and peak prices mark Seattle's peak sea-
son, when you'd be wise to book ahead for pretty much everything.
Seafair
A month-long extravaganza, the city's biggest festival (
www.seafair.com
)
includes a
torchlight parade, an air show, lots of music, a carnival and even the arrival of the naval
fleet.
