Seattle Hempfest 2010

Seattle Hempfest is 2 days, and is held the third weekend in August each year. The next Seattle Hempfest is August 21-22, 2010. The event hours are from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday. Admission to Seattle Hempfest is free.

The event spans three Seattle waterfront parks: Elliott Bay Park (North Entrance), Myrtle Edwards Park, and Olympic Sculpture Park (South Entrance).

To beat the crowds, use the north entrance by crossing the Amgen Pedestrian Bridge off of W Prospect Street. It has an elevator and is wheelchair accessible, placing the avid attendee just north of Seattle Hempfest’s north entrance. There is very little parking at W Prospect Street. So your best bet is to walk, bike, or take a metro bus to that location. For example, take metro bus 18 to north entrance, and 15 to south entrance. Between downtown Seattle and Leary Way. There are many other Metro buses routes that can drop you at either entrance too. Downtown Seattle has several parking garages. Bicycles should enter through the North entrance in Elliot Bay Park to utilize the bike racks. Attaching bikes to the fence at Olympic Sculpture Park is not allowed. Bicycles Notice

NOTE: For people leaving Hempfest, on Sunday, Aug. 22, two of three northbound lanes will be closed all day across the Aurora Bridge on Highway 99. Expect delays and consider other routes.

Hempfest’s PHYSICAL address at the park is: 3130 Alaskan Way W, Seattle, WA 98121.
