SDF 2024: WHAT IF?

The 2024 Seattle Design Festival explored the theme of WHAT IF?. What if? is a simple question that reminds us of the potential within every design — an invitation to imagine improvement and expand what’s conceivable. Will you transport us to a place of wonder? Will you dream of a better world and bring it to life? This year’s theme was more than a prompt — it was a catalyst for reimagining, reinventing, and rejoicing in infinite possibilities.

The 2024 Festival was August 17-22. It kicked off with the SDF Block Party at Lake Union Park with Installations, Pop-Up Experiences and Mainstage performances. In-person Design Mixers and virtual experiences continued throughout the week.
