Bumbershoot is North America’s largest annual urban arts and music festival.

This is an incredible opportunity to be involved in one of Seattle’s biggest gathering of artists and tastemakers. We encourage artists working in either new or traditional forms to apply. All types of work will be considered, with the exception of pre-recorded music, food, and beverage. Please note that T-shirts may be sold at Bumbershoot only with specific approval.
Festival Dates: Saturday, August 30 – Monday, September 1, 2008
