Spring is here at last! Bulbs are starting to bloom and some sunnier weather is hopefully on the way (at least, if you’re reading this post in the Spring). Time for some Spring festivals to start getting out and enjoying this time of year. This is a list post featuring any future event on our calendar tagged as a Pacific Northwest Spring festivals or events, but we always seem to have a focus on Seattle Spring events and those around the Puget Sound area where we live. If you want to narrow it down by location, the map shows the locations of the events in the list.
As it features future events, we may get more here as the year progresses, then the list may empty itself out, only to start filling up again for the next year.
As usual, the list will usually feature more events around western Washington as that’s our stomping grounds, but we’re open to events from Oregon, Idaho, and BC as well. If you know of any Pacific Northwest Spring festivals 1 that should be here, you can submit it here and make sure to tag it as Spring Festivals or Spring Events.

I’ll let on to what our favorites are: the Northwest Folklife Festival, Poulsbo
Glossary entry about Poulsbo, WA, a lovely town in Kitsap Co... Viking Fest, The Tulip Festival (can you tell?), or just about any birding event.
Also, not a festival…but viewing the cherry blossoms the short time they’re out is lovely. Some great local places to do that are the UW Quad, the Washington Park Arboretum or if you’re down there in Portland, at the Japanese Gardens, of course. Perhaps we’ll write a post about just that this coming Spring!
