SEATTLE — This weekend, Seafair is hosting its first-ever Winter by the Water event.
It’ll take place on Saturday from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. along the Seattle waterfront.
The festival is free to attend and invites the community to explore the waterfront through a self-guided adventure.
There will be food tastings, live entertainment, art experiences, local shopping, and an indoor evening concert.
“Winter by the Water is about showing up for Seattle — even when it’s gray — and finding connection along the waterfront,” said Emily Cantrell, President & CEO of Seafair.
