The Fishermen’s Fall Festival is an entirely volunteer-led event established to raise money for the Seattle Fishermen’s Memorial. The Memorial honors the lives of those lost at sea and is dedicated to supporting working fishermen by providing essential services.
While the Festival is primarily a fundraiser, it is also a way for the event runners to educate the public about the fishing industry, the history of Fishermen’s Terminal, and the history of the North Pacific Fishing Fleet. Take part in the fun to learn about Seattle’s fishing history, enjoy fun activities, and try delicious seafood.
