Bumbershoot 2015 Is Almost Here

One of our favorite festivals is coming up soon, on Labor Day weekend in Seattle. It’s not just the music, but also the comedy, film, dance, theater, film, spectacle, visual arts, and more. So far they’ve announced the music, comedy, and Words and Ideas lineups. There will be more announcements soon too.

Spread out over a dozen or so stages, the sheer variety of this festival makes it a must.
