The 53rd Bumbershoot returns to Seattle Center over Labor Day Weekend, September 5-6. The festival is rolling out a few changes this year. There will be three ticket options:

Sponsored
  • General admission: $70 single day, $125 weekend.
  • General admission with re-entry: $90.50 single day, $150.50 weekend. Ability to exit and return to the festival.
  • Deluxe: $190.50 single day, $325 weekend. Parking included. Dedicated entry lane. Private viewing areas. Private bars. 21+ only.

Kids 12 and under are free as long as they are with an adult with a ticket.

Also, while beer gardens will be available, patrons will no longer be confined to them. Bumbershoot is implementing a "sip and stroll" policy, allowing attendees to take open containers with them across the festival.

Not everything will change. In keeping with Bumbershoot tradition, there will still be art exhibits, fashion shows, comedy, magic, wrestling, skateboarding, short films, and more. All food vendors will be local, and festival organizers say they will include James Beard Award-nominated chefs.
