The Seattle Center will be hosting a two-day Latin American festival this weekend. Sea Mar Fiestas Patrias kicks off on Saturday, and here’s what to expect at the festival.
On Saturday, September 14th and Sunday, September 15th, you’ll be able to check out this free festival that celebrates “history, while taking pride in the new generations of Latinos who now call the United States home.”
Taking place at the Armory Food & Event Hall and Fisher Pavilion, it is part of the Seattle Center Festál series, which is a year-round event with 24 cultural celebrations.
At Sea Mar Fiestas Patrias, guests can enjoy delicious traditional Latin American food and cooking demonstrations, live music, traditional folk dance performances, art exhibitions representing Latino culture, free health screenings, children’s activities and more, according to organizers.
Sea Mar Fiestas Patrias dates back over twenty years ago, when it was in the South Park neighborhood of Seattle.
It moved the celebration to Seattle Center when they joined Festál in 2010.
“Since then, the festival has been put on every year during one weekend in mid-September. On Saturday, Sea Mar hosts a parade and community festival in South Park, which has become a great tradition that many families look forward to year after year,” states the Seattle Center.
“On Saturday and Sunday, Sea Mar hosts a large festival at Seattle Center with a variety of fun activities for everyone of all ages to enjoy in celebration of Latino culture.”
Enjoy the celebrations!
