Free Summer Events are Back at Pier 62!
FREE SUMMER EVENTS ARE BACK AT PIER 62! With over 80,000 attendees at events held in 2022, Friends of Waterfront Seattle has been working with dozens of program partners to bring together a 2023 calendar that highlights Seattle’s diversity of cultures, depth of artistic talent, community-focused organizations, all while honoring and centering the Indigenous roots, cultures, and histories of our waterfront.
“Friends is thrilled to bring more people to Pier 62 this summer and connect to this new civic space. Waterfront Park will serve as a catalyst for the downtown revitalization to welcome communities, families, and individuals from all over the region to experience our world-class programming,” Joy Shigaki, President & CEO of Friends of Waterfront Seattle, said.
As the non-profit partner to the City of Seattle, Friends leads fundraising, programming, and long term stewardship of Waterfront Park now and for generations to come. Friends is committed to building a sense of place, connection, and belonging between the people of Seattle and this new civic space. Friends’ partnership and collaboration with the City of Seattle and dozens of institutional and community partners has been instrumental to ensuring the new park is a beautiful, safe, and welcoming place for everyone.
“At Friends, and at Waterfront Park, we honor the strong Indigenous ties that this land holds. Part of this work is through Indigenous-centered programming. We’re so excited for the return of programs like Indigiqueer and Salmon Homecoming, and to be hosting new programs with talented artists by partners like yəhaw̓ and Red Eagle Soaring,” Jordan Remington (Quileute), Friends of Waterfront Seattle’s Curator of Indigenous Programs, said.
