Today is the first official day of Seafair 2017, the iconic Seattle summer festival that will bring pirates, clowns, and Blue Angels to the city for the next 10 weeks. The official Seafair kickoff (from 11:30 am-1:30 pm today) will include a knighting ceremony, hydroplanes, and exhibit booths, but, if you miss that, there are more than 40 other Seafair events you can check out throughout the rest of the summer, including parades, cultural celebrations, and food festivals. They're all on our Seafair calendar, including Seafair Summer 4th, Seafair Torchlight Parade, and Seafair Weekend—so go check it out now.
