Now is the time to apply for the 2018 Community Partnership Booth at West Seattle Summer Fest – July 13, 14, and 15. We’re accepting applications from West Seattle nonprofits and community groups who are interested in being considered for this FREE space in the festival. Priority will be given to local groups who strive to benefit, strengthen, and educate the West Seattle neighborhood in a direct way.

The purpose of the Community Partnership booth at Summer Fest is to partner with other neighborhood nonprofits and community groups to provide easy access to the largest event of the year in West Seattle – free of charge! Each year over 25,000 people attend Summer Fest, making it a great place for local groups to reach out to the community and connect with like-minded people.

The Community Partnership booth will be centrally located in the heart of the festival, right at the info booth in the iconic all-walk intersection of SW Alaska Street and California Avenue SW. Tables and chairs will be provided. Participants are encouraged to set up their table and area with displays that reflect their mission and contributions to the West Seattle community. Participants are welcome to bring props, brochures, and other materials to promote their organization and encourage festival attendees to stop and chat. Please note that NO SALES will be permitted in the Community tabling area.

Interested neighborhood nonprofits and community groups can apply by completing this form by May 19th.  

Interested participants are also encouraged to visit the official West Seattle Summer Fest event website at www.westseattlefestival.com for general information about the larger event.
