Bumbershoot
Bumbershoot is more than just great music. The 37th annual three-day sensory experience is the biggest of its kind in North America—a regular mecca for art fiends and pop culture gluttons. It’s hard to believe that you get all this for one dirt cheap ticket, but quit pinching yourself, because it’s true!
Bumbershoot: Seattle’s Music & Arts Festival is unveiling its new look with the launch of the 2007 Festival website! When the ‘06 Festival wrapped, we went right to work plotting and scheming an original and fresh look for the next Labor Day extravaganza. To that end, we scoured the Pacific Northwest for an artist with a truly distinctive style, a sense of humor, and as much passion for Bumbershoot as we have. We are happy to announce we found the talented and slightly warped Dan Stiles, and today reveal his “City Comes Alive” artwork online, with more website features, killer merch, and other goodies to be released over the next few months.
Be sure to check back to the site for all the latest perks, features, and Bumbershoot news!
