Solstice Parade
If you happen to be in Seattle around the Summer Solstice, on the weekend closest to the solstice, Fremont has one of the city's best street fairs and Saturday, around noon a truly great parade, with hundreds, perhaps thousands, of elaborately costumed participants, with no signage strongly discouraging commercial participation, and with only human-powered floats. The Fremont Art's Council just celebrated its 20th year of hosting this arts-only parade. A contingent of nude and painted bicyclists traditionally show up, and ride before the parade begins. Delilah's Billion Belly March contingent annually brings over 100 belly dancers and drummers to the parade.
