the Bumbershoot Festival is this weekend in Seattle

Bumbershoot

Bumbershoot is about music, of course, but it’s also about every other kind of performance you can imagine, from dance and comedy to film and literary and visual arts. And, if you’re a kid, it’s also about face painting, arts and crafts, learning about clay animation, science and doing the limbo.

“Overall, there’s so much to do that would satisfy people of almost every age,” senior programming manager Bob Redmond said. “We tend not to say, ‘This is appropriate for 10-year-olds or for 15-year-olds.’ It’s just such a grand spectacle. There are only a couple of things that are actually adult specific.” [SeattlePi]
