If you’re looking for a fun (and free!) way to spend a summer Saturday in Seattle, head to the CID Celebration on Saturday, July 18, 2026, from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. at Hing Hay Park in the Chinatown-International District.
This all-ages community festival with free admission is part of the ongoing effort to support and revitalize the CID while bringing people together to celebrate the neighborhood’s rich cultural heritage. Whether you’re coming for the food, the performances, or just to explore one of Seattle’s most vibrant neighborhoods, there’s something for everyone.
Throughout the day, you can enjoy exciting dragon and lion dances, cultural performances, kung fu demonstrations, live bands, DJ sets, and more. Families will also find plenty to do, with hands-on art activities, fun games, a football toss, hoops challenge, photo opportunities with lion dance props, and raffle drawings with prizes…
