SEATTLE, Wash. – Bumbershoot is back!

The three-day music and arts festival makes what organizers are calling an epic return to celebrate its 50th anniversary.

This year’s event at Seattle Center will be Labor Day weekend, September 1st through the 3rd.

The last Bumbershoot was in 2019 before it was idled by the pandemic shutdown.

Sneak peeks on the fest’s diverse art presentations and music line-ups will be released in coming weeks.

Amazon has teamed with the festival to offer early-bird $54 one-day and $85 two-day general admission tickets.

That is 50% less than in 2019.

Tickets go on sale this Friday at 10 a.m.
