The Alaska Airlines Seafair Torchlight Parade is set to return to Seattle’s waterfront on Saturday evening, bringing the event back to the scenic route for a second straight year. The parade made its waterfront debut last year, and organizers are again planning to stage it along the same high-profile setting.
The annual Torchlight Parade is one of the signature public events tied to Seafair, drawing attention for its festive atmosphere and its place in Seattle’s summer calendar. This year’s return to the waterfront continues a newer chapter for the parade after the route change introduced last year.
With the procession scheduled for Saturday evening, the event is expected to once again highlight the Seattle waterfront as a central gathering spot. The location offers a scenic backdrop that helped define the parade’s updated look when it first moved there.
The latest edition keeps the focus on a waterfront experience for spectators as Seafair’s Torchlight tradition continues in downtown Seattle. For attendees, the return signals another year of parade night along one of the city’s most recognizable corridors.
