Just in from the West Seattle Junction Association, some of what you’ll want to know about the year’s biggest party, West Seattle Summer Fest – Friday-Sunday, July 11-13 (following an ever-more-festive Summer Fest Eve on Thursday, July 10). First, this year’s official Summer Fest logo art (yes, T-shirts will be available):

WSJA says this year’s Summer Fest highlights will include:

160+ local vendors and food trucks
A bustling beverage garden
An expanded Kids Zone
Two stages of live music

Main Stage music will be Friday and Saturday as has been the case in recent years, with California SW north of Oregon changing to the Farmers’ Market for Sunday. Headliners will include Reignwolf, Jenn Champion, New Constellations, and THEM! The full music schedule will be out soon, and will also include the Westside Stage – which will host performances all three days – in Junction Plaza Park.

The festival footprint will be the same, but the food court and Kids Zone will change places – the former will be on SW Alaska west of California, the latter will be east of California, with five different inflatables plus activities from West Seattle Arcade, Seattle Reign FC, and Craft Labs Seattle. (Face painters will be on the California raised crosswalks.)

And along with another year of food/beverage vendors serving your purchases in reusable serviceware – making it a truly sustainable festival – this year will see the return of free water-refill stations, so you can bring your own water bottle (or buy one at the festival). Four stations, WSJA tells us.

Also: We’ve been telling you about the fundraiser (still accepting donations!) for seating and shade, and that will be part of the “food court,” described as “an enormous area” of seating/shade behind KeyBank. Plus year-round merchants will have extended sidewalk cafés and in-store promotions..

Festival hours will be 1-8 pm Friday (July 11), 10 am-8 pm Saturday (July 12), 10 am-5 pm Friday (July 13). Music will be on the Main Stage (California north of Oregon) Friday and Saturday until 11 pm, and on the Westside Stage (in the park) Friday and Saturday until 7 PM, Sunday until 4 PM.
