Seattle's iconic arts and music festival, held annually over Labor Day weekend at the Seattle Center. Known as 'Seattle's moss-covered Mardi Gras', the festival celebrates the Pacific Northwest's creative community with an eclectic mix of music, visual arts, performing arts (including comedy, dance, and theater), and culinary offerings. The event features a diverse lineup of established and emerging artists, large-scale installations, and a strong focus on community and inclusivity.
Bumbershoot's non-profit arm, Third Stone, runs the BumberWorks Workforce Development Program. This program offers paid training and hands-on experience in live music and event production for young people aged 17-25, focusing on community and skill development within the arts economy.
