If you like music, dancing, color, costumes, buskers, magicians, peforming arts, story telling, workshops, and people from the bizarre to the traditional, you can’t go wrong attending the annual Memorial Day weekend NW Folklife festival @ Seattle Center…a photographer’s Paradise. And it’s FREE! In fact, it’s the biggest such free festival anywhere. This NW specialty has been happening for 41 years without missing a beat. It requires the good will of the organizers, hundreds of volunteers, and YES–donations are appreciated. (CLICK on www.nwfolklife.org)

It’s impossible for one reporter to cover over 2 dozen stages and hundreds of performances running for 4 days straight (F-M, Memorial Day weekend) 10am-10pm…not to mention the crowds, sights, smells, beautiful spring budding, and all around good vibes. Pick a Friday or Monday if you’re adverse to really big crowds–the Center allegedly had 400,000+ attendees on Saturday, 2011 for the Memorial Day weekend extravaganza. Some of those memories can be seen by searching on this site–just enter ‘2011 Folklife’.
