An iconic Pacific Northwest tradition, Seafair Weekend Festival is the culmination of the summer-long Seafair Celebration. Known and loved as an unofficial Puget Sound holiday, this is the most anticipated event of the summer!
Set on Lake Washington’s 1.5 miles of shoreline, Seafair Festival Weekend is the largest boating event, air show, and festival all rolled into one. Fans enjoy the Boeing Seafair Air Show featuring the U.S. Navy Blue Angels, Miss HomeStreet racing at over 220 MPH in the HomeStreet Bank Cup, and the unforgettable sights, sounds, and smells of Alaska Airlines Park.
Volunteers are the people behind the scenes who ensure that every attendee has a memorable and positive festival experience. A lot goes into offering a truly exceptional event, and volunteers are the people who execute much of the work. Duties vary by event but may include set up, take down, hospitality, volunteer coordination and check in, ushering, information booth, security, first aid, runners, and behind the scenes operational duties.
Do you have a special skill like carpentry, plumbing, CPR, driving a forklift, or dive certificate? Are you a boat owner? We have teams that can use your talents such as the emergency management / medical team, the shore patrol, the dive team that sets up the hydroplane racecourse and the highly skilled construction team that build out the venues.
Questions? Email events@seafair.org. We will assist you in finding the role / shift that works best for you. There are also many opportunities for groups and high school students.
Join our extraordinary volunteer team and help build community, create memories, and provide affordable fun!

Description
It all began as a plan to celebrate Seattle’s centennial in 1951-52. The Seattle area was without major league sports teams or the Seattle Center. Thirsty for national recognition and attention, Seafair was designed to attract tourists and showcase marine events in keeping with Seattle’s boast as the "boating capital of the world."
That first Seafair featured parades, boat races on Green Lake, amateur athletic events, royalty, and a number of community festivals. Seafair was deemed a success and the festival would grow the next summer with the addition of unlimited hydroplane racing’s Gold Cup race on Lake Washington.
As it enters its 74th year, Seafair is a multi-week festival featuring over 30 sanctioned events that reach more than two-million people. It’s about building community, creating memories, and providing affordable fun. The festival remains the fabric of our community and is made possible with the help of nearly 3,000 volunteers.
