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 2024 Festival was August 17-22 exploring the theme of WHAT IF?. Call for Proposals launched April 3 and were due May 29 – and we had over 60 Design Teams engaging this year with Installations, Pop-Up Experiences, Mainstage performances and our Mixers.
