Seattle Seafair Torchlight Parade Makes Waterfront Return in Year 2
Tens of thousands celebrated the Seafair Torchlight Parade and Torch Run along Seattle’s waterfront for the second year after the event moved from 4th Avenue, with crowds similar to 2025. The celebration on Alaskan Way featured floats, pirates, a Blue Angels inflatable, high school bands, and families watching from sidewalk setups that resemble living rooms, as organizers hint at continued Seafair events later in the week including Blue Angels practices.
