Seattle Chinese Garden Mid-Autumn Festival 2026

Seattle Chinese Garden holds Mid-Autumn Festival on Saturday, September 26, 2026, from noon to 4 p.m. The garden sits at the north entrance to South Seattle College in West Seattle, around 6000 16th Avenue Southwest.

This is the quiet Mid-Autumn date. You get the classical garden, bamboo, and a family afternoon instead of a packed street. The full activity board is still landing, so check the garden page closer to September for workshops, performances, and any ticket note. Past Mid-Autumn afternoons here have been free; do not assume that until 2026 posts it.

Same Saturday, CID Night Market runs 1 to 9 p.m. in the Chinatown-International District. If you want both, do the garden first, then cross into the CID for night-market food and Hing Hay performances. They are different parking problems. Plan two moves.

Bring a layer. West Seattle can turn breezy off Elliott Bay even when downtown still feels warm. Choose the garden when you want space. Choose CID when you want vendor density after dark.

When: September 26, 2026, noon–4 p.m.
Where: Seattle Chinese Garden, 6000 16th Ave SW, Seattle, WA
