Winter in Seattle doesn’t have to mean staying indoors — it means showing up, rain and all.Seafair’s inaugural Winter by the Water festival invites you to rediscover Seattle’s new waterfront while supporting local businesses along the way.
This one-day, walkable festival offers passport-only access to exclusive experiences at participating waterfront shops, restaurants, and venues. Expect:
• Seasonal tastings, warm bites, and snacks
• Live entertainment
• Family-friendly fun, including visits from the Seattle Seafair Pirates and Seafair Clowns
• A hydroplane on display, bringing Seafair flair to the winter waterfront
• Plenty of cozy spots to step inside, warm up, and linger
At 4 p.m., the celebration continues with a special indoor concert at Pier 66 featuring Smokey Brights and The Talbott Brothers, hosted at the Bell Harbor International Conference Center — the perfect warm finale to a festive day by the water.
