📍 The West Seattle Junction: 4210 SW Oregon Street, Seattle
If Seattle neighborhood summer festivals competed with each other, West Seattle Summer Fest might be the reigning champion. Every summer, the fest shuts down The Junction for a weekend and fills the streets with artists, food, beer, and music—with a big emphasis on the music. It’s a major party, with beer gardens and a festive atmosphere that spreads into the local bars as night hits.
This year’s fest boasts two stages of local music. Friday night’s headliners start with Americana outfit The Dusty 45’s, who take the main stage at 7 pm, with killer vocalist Shaina Shepard taking the stage at 8 pm and progressive funk band Polyrythmics playing out the night.
