THE 35TH ANNUAL FREMONT SOLSTICE PARADE
PRODUCED BY THE FREMONT ARTS COUNCIL
The 35th Annual Fremont Solstice Parade, produced by the Fremont Arts Council, blasts off on Saturday June 20, 2026 at 1:00 p.m. The 2026 Fremont Solstice Parade kicks off at 3rd and Leary Way, continues along 36th Street, then turns right on N 35th St, and finishing up near the Fremont Rocket and Seattle Art Cars display inside the Fremont Fair (see map below). Come be dazzled as more than 60 community- based ensembles parade down the streets of Fremont with giant puppets, stilt walkers, floats, dancers, cyclists, and musicians in this kaleidoscope of joyous human expression.
Arrive early to secure a prime viewing spot along the new parade route, then plan to join us one block over for Seattle’s biggest summer welcome party!
The parade is at 1pm so you have time to enjoy the Fremont Fair before and after the parade for a full day of free-spirited summer celebrating. Featuring craft marketing shopping of handmade goods and art, two music stages of live and local bands with beer & cocktails, the zany Seattle Art Cars, Fair foods, and more!
