“The Seattle Children’s Festival is produced by Northwest Folklife and Seattle Centers as part of the Our Big Neighborhood program that uses intergenerational, multicultural exchange to promote greater social understanding. All are invited to this intergenerational celebration of the dynamic arts, cultures, and traditions that thrive here in the greater Pacific Northwest community with five stages of lively performances, three “Discovery Zones” packed with hands-on activities, interactive dance workshops, multicultural arts and crafts, and more!”
