Seattle Events: June 14–21, 2026

Next week Seattle is in full swing: from street festivals and night markets to major music events and family celebrations — seasonal concerts at the zoo and by the locks kick off, food and wine festivals run, circus and dance programs begin, and there are a number of free days at parks and museums, so you can plan budget‑friendly weekends. The calendar has highlights for the whole family — Fairyfest and kids’ zones at city celebrations, sports excitement at rugby and baseball games, the nighttime vibe at Pike Place and big shows at Paramount and Town Hall; for outdoor lovers — Trailhead Direct and boat cruises on the bay. Local fairs and street festivals are especially prominent: Juneteenth, JamFest, Edmonds Arts Festival and the Fremont Solstice promise outdoor music, food and crafts. A detailed list of events and practical info is collected at events12.com.
