As in previous years, Bumbershoot features a core visual arts program curated by artists from across the Pacific Northwest, along with food and beverage offerings from more than 50 regional restaurants, wineries and breweries.
This year, Bumbershoot is also introducing the Animation District as part of its celebration of the visual arts: 2024 programming will include visual exhibitions, youth animation, film screenings and in-person presentations, including a talk from the VFX and production supervisor . designer of the Oscar nominee Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse.
After a hiatus from 2019 to 2022, the festival returned in 2023 thanks to New Rising Sun, a production collective led by Neumos co-owner Steven Severin, who partnered with Amazon to finance the cost of tickets, reducing the cost of entries by 50% from previous years.
One-day and two-day passes are now on sale through the festival website.
