The experience

What's special

A large, free-admission food festival at Seattle Center featuring hundreds of food and retail vendors, live cooking demonstrations and outdoor live music.

What people love

The free admission and the family-friendly, dog-friendly setting still win goodwill, and a handful of standout vendors keep some fans coming back.

Last time around

The most recent edition ran as Seattle's free-admission food festival at Seattle Center, but recent attendees widely criticized steep food prices, long lines, heavy crowds and a mandatory app-based ordering system.
