As always, Bumbershoot will shine a light on the Pacific Northwest’s robust food and drink scene through its Culinary Arts programming, with dozens of local restaurants and wineries represented. In addition, the festival’s Visual Arts and adjunct programming slate includes the sculpture-focused Century 21 District at the Pacific Science Center, the Recess District with roller-skating, gymnastics, breakdancing, double-dutch jump rope and cheerleading and several installations within the Geodesic Domes.
Tickets are available by clicking here. For the first time, fans have the option to bundle Bumbershoot access with tickets to fellow Seattle festival Capitol Hill Block Party, which takes place July 19-20 with a lineup including Thundercat, Porter Robinson, the Dare and 100 gecs.
Bumbershoot returned in 2023 after a five-year hiatus. Pavement, James Blake, Kim Gordon, Kurt Vile, Courtney Barnett, Aly & AJ and Freddie Gibbs performed at the festival last year.
