celebrate the region’s vibrant communities.
Produced by Seattle Center in partnership with community-based organizations, the Festál series runs from February through November and offers family-friendly experiences that showcase music, dance, cultural marketplaces, visual art, food, storytelling, literature, exhibits, hands-on activities, and so much more.
Since launching in 1997, Festál has been a cornerstone of Seattle Center programming – creating space for cultural exchange, reflection, and shared celebration.
Each festival is community-produced and highlights both heritage and contemporary cultural expression, inviting Seattleites and visitors to learn, engage, and connect.
