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
