Summary
Seattle’s Seafair Torchlight Parade steps off at 7:30 p.m. Saturday on the waterfront, marking its second year on the route after last year’s debut.
Pier 58 and Pier 62 activities start at 1 p.m., followed by Stephanie Anne Johnson from 2 p.m. to 3 p.m., DJ Roscoe from 4 p.m. to 10 p.m., and the Torchlight Run at 6 p.m.
Illuminated floats, marching bands, dragon dancers, drill teams and prancing horses will headline the “Light Up the Night” parade along the route between Broad Street and Yesler Way.
SDOT warned of heavy crowds, street closures and temporary transit reroutes, urging spectators to walk, bike or use transit options including light rail, buses, the monorail, streetcar and a free Waterfront Shuttle through 10 p.m.
The parade is one of Seattle’s marquee Seafair weekend events, with organizers earlier projecting nearly 100,000 attendees.
