It’s Seattle’s traditional summer festival. A month-long, region-wide barbecue, that brings an entire community together in celebration. For 59 years Seafair has been about community events, parades, Miss Seafair, the Navy and Coast Guard, amateur athletics, airplanes and of course, boat racing. But most of all, Seafair has been about people and it continues to be.

Located on the Bremerton Boardwalk in the heart of downtown the Bremerton Blackberry Festival draws over 50,000 people from around the country.

The Seattle area local group PAPER will be participating in the Aki Matsuri by teaching, demonstrating and exhibiting origami. The event will be held at the Bellevue Community College in Bellevue, Washington. For more information, please visit: www.enma.org.

Beer lineup will include dark malty stouts, robust winter warmers, barrel-aged gems, spiced, bubbly and roasty brews. Popular Vintage Beer Tasting will also return with some of Washington’s favorite winter beers from a few years back.
