Today is the first official day of Seafair 2016, 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 this afternoon will include a knighting ceremony, hydroplanes, and food vendors, but, if you miss that, there are 42 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 the Ballard SeafoodFest, Dragon Fest, and Seafair Torchlight Night—so go check it out now.
