West Seattle Summer Fest 2011 countdown: Vendor list, and more

West Seattle Summer Fest (co-sponsored by WSB) starts 2 weeks from this Friday – summer’s biggest party in West Seattle, and it’s a three-day celebration as usual. The West Seattle Junction Association has announced a few more details today (we reported on the full music lineup last Friday): For one – the vendor list is now online; see it here. And Summer Fest is very “green” – besides the sustainability/garden expo Green Life, you’ll find Hack Cycle, described as “old bikes ‘upcycled’ into new bikes using human-powered power tools alone,” and a Zero Waste commitment – in partnership with Cedar Grove Composting, WSJA says, “All plates, utensils, beverage containers and napkins are either compostable or recyclable and volunteers will be staffing disposal stations to help festival goers deposit their used items in the proper containers to keep recyclables from becoming contaminated.”

Summer Fest hours will be 10 am-10 pm Friday (July 8), 10 am-midnight Saturday (July 9), 11 am-5 pm Sunday (July 10); the vendors close earlier on Friday and Saturday (6 pm and 8 pm, respectively). Keep an eye on wsjunction.org/summerfest for all the official lists and maps.

IS there a street dance this year? I didn’t see it on the site.

I just called Susan @ WSJA to ask a few of the questions that have been raised. Yes, there will be dancing in the streets – the verbiage is still under development to be added to the website and news releases. Music goes till late Friday and Saturday nights as always. Also – there is one stage this year, not two. But there is a second performance area, in the heart of The Junction (near the information etc. booth where we will be with WSJA, the Chamber, neighborhood organizations, T-shirt sales, etc.), that won’t have a stage, but will have an area chalked off with performances – that’s where you’ll find the more low-key acts, like Caspar Babypants, and community performers such as jugglers, dancers (they’re still looking for acts, too, Susan says – info@westseattlefestival.com) … TR

Sorry, comment time is over.
