Year-round in Seattle, Festal cultural festivals are held, inviting locals from Seattle’s many ethnic communities to shine a spotlight on their unique traditions and heritage. In the month of June alone, Festal will hold festivals featuring music and food from Iran, the Philippines and various countries across Africa.

Festal festivals are held almost every other week, made possible by sponsors from across the city of Seattle. Each festival showcases a different cultural entity within the city of Seattle; in the months to come, Brasilfest, Turkfest, and even Tibet Fest will all take place at Seattle’s famous Seattle Center, the hub of Festal operations.

SIFF holds a special place in the hearts of many in the Seattle arts scene, as its presence over the decades has brought joy and wonder to a city already vibrant with creativity.
