Last weekend Seattle Center played host to the Northwest Folklife Festival, an annual event that takes place over Memorial weekend come rain or shine. As I wandered through the grounds; strains of folk, honky tonk and world music drifting on the breeze, I encountered quite a few costumed festival-goers and couldn’t resist a photo or two. Here are some of the merrymakers I met along the way.
Everyone was joining in the fun, even the four-legged festival-goers brought their gold lamé A-game.
So put on your glad rags and join in this week’s travel theme (everyone’s welcome!) Here’s what to do:
- Create your own post and title it Travel theme: Costume
- Include a link to this page in your post so others can find it too
- Get your post in by next Thursday, as the new travel theme comes out on Friday
- Don’t forget to subscribe to keep up to date on the latest weekly travel themes. Sign up via the email subscription link in the sidebar or RSS – if you’re already following on WordPress.com, remember I’m getting ready to switch website hosts so sign up for email or RSS to keep up to date on posts.
Let’s get the costume party started!

Hi Alisa, I love how creative everyone was with their costumes this year! I didn’t make it to Folklife this year but I did pull together a group of my favorite Halloween costumes. 🙂

I just love all of these! It looks like it might be so much fun! All of the costumes are very cool, but from I really love the look of the umbrella girl if I was going to use one to try to write about. LOL It’s inspiring in a different way than the others, though all are amazing;y beautiful! 😀
