Big Day of Play is a celebration of our city’s diversity, and it encourages neighbors, communities, and families to have fun, build relationships and be active together.
Big Day of Play will be held on Saturday, August 19 from 12 to 6 p.m. at Rainier Playfield, Mt. Baker Rowing and Sailing Center, and online. The event is completely free and includes activities for all ages and abilities. The event will showcase a wellness fair, in-person and virtual programs, water activities, and live performances. Look for fitness instruction, games, and competitions, and get ready to have fun with your community as we come together.
The Big Day of Play is presented by Seattle Parks and Recreation’s ‘Get Moving’ Initiative, which supports local groups in offering innovative and culturally relevant events and projects to increase participation in community sports, recreation, and physical fitness activities that serve under-resourced communities.
