Bumbershoot

Bumbershoot returns to Seattle Center for Labor Day weekend, September 5-6, 2026, as the city's large arts and music festival with stages, food, comedy, film, and other arts districts across campus. Official festival messaging highlights music, art, food, and the wider spectacle.

For families, the practical 2026 detail is that kids 12 and under get in free with a ticket-holding adult. Seattle Center Spotlight lists single-day tickets starting at about $70.50 and weekend passes from about $125.50 with no added ticket fees.

Buy tickets before you go, decide whether one day is enough, and read the accessibility and bag-policy pages if you are bringing strollers or sensory needs.
