COMMUNITY
Fremont Fair
Celebrate summer at the Fremont Solstice Parade, a Seattle rite of passage known primarily for its elaborately painted (and sometimes just wild ‘n’ free) nude bicyclists—but also offering plenty of stilt walking, giant puppet operating, and twirling around in circles. The procession, organized by the Fremont Arts Council and held on June 17, is the center of the Fremont Fair, a weekend-long event that draws over 100,000 people for shopping, street performances, local bands, a dog parade, and free-spirited, wacky artistic expression. Expect the unexpected.
Fremont (June 17–18)
