Every year, the Seattle Design Festival brings together designers, community members, experts, city officials, and business leaders to celebrate and explore how design improves the quality of our lives and our community.
The 2023 Seattle Design Festival will be August 19-24 – exploring the them of CURIOSITY. The Call for Proposals have launched and are due May 25. The full festival lineup will be ‘live’ by the end of June. Sign up for our emails to stay tuned!
The 2022 Seattle Design Festival explored the theme of CONNECTION and kicked off with the SDF Block Party at Lake Union Park and featured in-person and virtual experiences throughout the week.
