Northwest Folklife Festival this weekend

Hi, if you are looking for something free and fun to do this Memorial Day weekend, you should check out the Northwest Folklife Festival, at Seattle Center, this Friday May 28th through Monday May 31st. Northwest Folklife is one of the largest, varied and most vibrant free folk celebrations in North America, now in its 39th year. Produced by Northwest Folklife and Seattle Center, it hosts more than 7,000 participants, over 20 stages and venues, roughly 1000 performances, and an audience of approximately 250,000 at the 74-acre Seattle Center. Participants immerse themselves in four days of music and dance performances, visual arts and folklore exhibits, symposia, workshops, craft and cooking demonstrations and films. The Northwest Folklife Festival is free to the public! While they suggest a $10 donation, the event is really free. So don’t miss Folklife this Friday through Monday from 11AM to 10 PM at the Seattle Center at 305 Harrison Street.
