Panda Fest Seattle returns Friday through Sunday, August 28–30, 2026 at Seattle Center Fisher Pavilion, 305 Harrison St. Year two here after last summer's debut.
Friday runs 4 to 10 p.m., Saturday 10 a.m. to 10 p.m., Sunday 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. General admission is $14, VIP is $35, and Saturday tickets run $2 more. Kids 6 and up need an adult ticket. Buy a timeslot. Waiting until the gate costs more.
It is a big outdoor Asian food and craft fair: street-food rows, merchandise, live performance, and the inflatable panda. Fisher Pavilion and a Seattle Center weekend crowd are the real picture. Vendor counts bounce from city to city.
Ride Link or a bus onto campus. Skip circling for the Mercer garage unless you already know that game.
This is the paid food weekend. WABA Korea Expo is already on the waterfront this month, and Live Aloha takes Seattle Center on September 13 for free.
When: August 28–30, 2026 (Fri 4–10 p.m., Sat 10 a.m.–10 p.m., Sun 10 a.m.–8 p.m.)
Where: Seattle Center Fisher Pavilion, 305 Harrison St, Seattle, WA 98109
