Bumbershoot: Seattle’s Arts + Music Festival returns to Seattle Center!
Seattle’s beloved Bumbershoot Arts & Music Festival is back for its 52nd year, lighting up Labor Day Weekend (August 30–31) with a celebration of creativity, community, culinary arts, and music.
2025’s music lineup, headlined by Weezer, Aurora, Bright Eyes, Car Seat Headrest, Janelle Monáe, and Sylvan Esso, promising two unforgettable days in the heart of the city.
Set against the iconic backdrop of Seattle Center’s 74-acre urban campus, Bumbershoot continues to be a cultural touchstone, bringing music, visual arts, and culinary excellence in a way only Seattle can. With a half-century of rich history, Bumbershoot has been at the vanguard of artistic innovation, showcasing established luminaries and emerging talents who have later skyrocketed to stardom.
As one of the longest-running independent festivals in the world, Bumbershoot remains committed to innovation, inclusion, and uplifting the Pacific Northwest spirit, offering an experience where there’s a little something for everyone.
