Seattle Family Weekend Events for June 15-18

Red Tricycle

It's Father's Day weekend and we've put together a fantastic roundup of family fun to celebrate dear ol' Dad!

For starters, we have a musical journey with our fav cat, an eclectic summer festival, and a show for hot rods. We also have a fun history lesson, a behind-the-scenes tour, and a Father's Day adventure in the park. If Dad enjoys art, be sure to hit the super-popular Edmonds Arts Festival (one of the oldest and largest art festivals in the PNW!). This year's festival will include plenty of live entertainment along with fab art, yummy food, and an awesome Kid's Creative Corner!
