Waterfront Beauty and Art at the Olympic Sculpture Park
The stunning views of Puget Sound and the Olympic Mountains draw visitors to Myrtle Edwards Park even in the coldest weather. But when the sun comes out, so do the crowds. Seattle Art Museum capitalizes on the crowds with free, family-friendly programming, too, especially in the summer. They even have a special site dedicated to summer programming.
The 2019 schedule, hasn’t been released for SAM’s outdoor programs, but you can get an idea of what’s to come by checking out the schedule from last year. The Summer at SAM website will connect you with its tours, fitness events, and parties.
Seattle International Film Festival 2019
SIFF 2019 will be here before you know it. The largest film festival in North America, SIFF brings hundreds of films from around the world to venues around the city for over a month. May 16-June 9 are the dates this year, beginning with a big gala event at McCaw Hall, of course.
SIFF Members get benefits year round, with discounts at SIFF Cinemas, such as SIFF Uptown right in Lower Queen Anne. But that membership really comes in handy if you want early bird specials on festival passes. (Those are on sale through April 13.) From compelling documentaries to midnight creature features to programming for kids, SIFF has something for everyone.
The full SIFF lineup is announced May 1, with special announcements each Wednesday until then. Learn more on the Festival Spotlight page of the official website.
