WALKDONTRUN ReturnS to the Emerald City sidewalks of downtown Seattle on Saturday, September 19, 2026—and we want you in the flow.

new to the block? [ cue the backstory ]

In 2025, seven visionary curators and producers, 300+ artists, and a powerhouse crew of partners and volunteers mapped out a different kind of course—converting 20+ blocks of urban Sidewalks, plazas + parks into living, breathing cultural stages.

Thousands showed up, moved at their own pace, and tapped into a free, open-to-the-public day of art, music + performance launching Seattle’s signature Arts + Culture Week with beauty and intention.

This year, we continue to go the distance—from Westlake Park to Occidental Square. Watch your inbox as we ramp up >> volunteer sign-up is now live.

Start your pre-training now. Keep your eyes peeled, your ears perky, and your walking shoes at the ready as we build this next evolution of WALKDONTRUN in stride together.
