Join us in celebrating the annual Seattle Fire Festival on Saturday, June 4 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Bell Street Park (located between 4th and 5th on Bell St. in downtown Seattle). This free, annual festival commemorates the re-birth of Seattle’s business district following the Great Seattle Fire of June 6, 1889.

The Seattle Fire Festival includes a display of antique fire items (including fire trucks), as well as live music and family-friendly activities. Come cheer on the area Fire Cadets and Explorers as they compete against each other; you can also pan for gold, check out the City Service Ladder on display, or color a picture while sitting in the back of a 1940s fire engine! Author and firefighter TJ Spencer will read from his Nozzlehead Adventure Series children’s books at 11:15 a.m., 12:30 p.m., and 2 p.m.

The Fire Festival gives attendees of all ages a glimpse into Seattle’s past with antique and classic displays by Last Resort Fire Department and Klondike Gold Rush National Historical Park-Seattle. Seattle Fire Department will showcase a variety of fire equipment and provide tours of Station 2, and the Seattle Fire Department’s Medic II program will have a display in the Belltown Community Center.

Sponsors and partners of the Festival include Friends of Bell Street Park, Last Resort Fire Department, Seattle Fire Department, and Seattle Parks and Recreation.
