Fremont Fair and Fremont Solstice Parade 2010
June 19th and 20th, 2010
Saturday, 10am-8pm and Sunday, 11am-6pm

On June 19th and 20th the Fremont Fair returns to celebrate community with a toast to summer! The 22nd Annual Fremont Solstice Parade takes place on Saturday, June 19th at noon. The Fremont Solstice Parade is produced by the Fremont Arts Council.

Founded in 1972, the Fremont Fair is one of Seattle’s most beloved neighborhood street festivals, featuring a weekend of eclectic activities that celebrate the quirky community of Fremont, the self-proclaimed “center of the universe.” Held annually in mid-June to coincide with the Summer Solstice, the event draws more than 100,000 people to shop, eat, drink, mingle, groove, and enjoy all manners of creative expression. Artistic highlights include craft and art booths, street performers, local bands, wacky decorated art cars, the free-spirited Solstice Parade produced by the Fremont Arts Council, and many other oddities that personify Fremont’s official motto “Delibertus Quirkus” – Freedom to be Peculiar. The Fremont Fair is produced by the Fremont Chamber of Commerce and funds raised benefit a number of area non-profits including Solid Ground, a local poverty-focused non-profit who originated and produced the Fair for nearly 40 years.
