Experience one of Seattle's favorite summer traditions from the best seat on the waterfront. Join us on our open-air patio for front-row views of the Torchlight Parade, refreshing drinks and bites, and an unforgettable evening on Elliott Bay.
Following a successful debut on the Seattle Waterfront, the Alaska Airlines Seafair Torchlight Parade returns for its second year along this scenic route.
Beginning at 7:30 PM, the parade fills the waterfront with dazzling floats, marching bands, cultural performances, and Seafair favorites. Participants are invited to Light Up the Night, adding lights and bold displays that bring the parade to life after dark.
From dragon dancers to precision drill teams to marching bands and prancing horses, the Alaska Airlines Seafair Torchlight Parade will keep you entertained from start to finish.
Come early and join the Kaiser Permanente Seafair Torchlight Run or line the streets and cheer on the participants as they race along the parade route – starting at 6PM!
