Party Time in South Lake Union

There's no shortage of opportunities to get outside and enjoy the weather in South Lake Union this summer.

It all starts with the Lake Union Wooden Boat Festival starting July 4th running through the 6th, where young and old flock for toy boat building, sailing model boats on the pond, boat rides and races, picnicking, clambering over boats big and small, festive food and music, and general joy.

On July 17th, Seattle Great City Initiative hosts the Summer Street Scene Party at SLU Discovery Center – a celebration with food, drink, music and a "street transformation".

August 5th, Cascade People's Center is throwing a block party in honor of National Night Out with live music and a barbecue. They are looking to gather school supplies for local children, so bring some (especially backpacks)!

Three days later, August 8th, Vulcan invites you to a full day of outdoor fun at the 4th annual South Lake Union Block Party. There will be music, a movie (Juno!), food, and even activities for your dog.
