- Free Comic Book Day. On the first Saturday in May, pick up a free comic book at one of many participating shops around Puget Sound.
- Opening Day of Boating Season. Watch the parade of decorated boats as it travels through the Montlake Cut in Seattle to mark the official start of the boating season.
- 17th of May Festival. Also called Syttende May (say "SOOT-un-da my"), May 17 is Ballard’s big day. The Seattle neighborhood flies its Scandinavian colors high at this popular and historic parade, one of the largest outside of Norway.
- Northwest Folklife. This iconic Memorial Day weekend festival celebrated 50 years in 2021. Mark your calendar for the incredible lineup of music and dance performances, activities for kids and terrific people-watching.
