Fans of the Labor Day weekend arts and music festival Bumbershoot will have to wait yet another year, Seattle city officials said in a news release Friday.
Canceled in 2020 and 2021 because of COVID-19 restrictions, Bumbershoot will look different when it returns in 2022, the release said. The Seattle Center and nonprofit One Reel, which have grown the festival from its humble city-led beginnings in the early 1970s, said they d be forming an exploratory committee to figure out the best way to bring the festival back.
