Escalating costs mean the West Seattle Summerfest is hoping to get some help to make the event successful, but the flip side is that donations will provide a genuine and visible benefit to those attending. They have launched two fundraisers the beverage driven "Rock Walk" (covered here) and "Seating and Shade"
The money raised for "Seating and Shade" will help the Junction Association afford tables, chairs, tents and umbrellas at the festival to give folks more places to sit down, relax, eat, enjoy music and a cold beverage. They are planning to physically swap the kids area and the food area this year. That means the new food area will be near the West Gate on Alaska with lots of new seating options as well. They are also moving the Westside Stage to the West Gate area as well so that folks can enjoy music while enjoying some food and drink.
They shared the plans in a post on the WestSeattleJunction.org website.
