These October fairs, festivals, and parades in the Seattle-Tacoma metropolitan region are primarily free community events. Some types of festivals require admission tickets, such as film festivals and music festivals.
Free fairs and festivals usually offer free and paid activities. Free activities often include live entertainment, demonstrations, kids’ activities, hands-on projects, window shopping at vendor booths, and of course plenty of people watching. Paid activities can include as tours, face painting, amusement rides, beer & wine gardens, and vendors selling various arts, crafts, and other items. There is usually food for purchase.
For ticketed events, we focus on festivals with cheap admission ($15 or less for adult admission). For more expensive events, we look for popular events with available ticket discounts that can help bring the price down.
Featured Events: The items listed first each day HIGHLIGHTED in GRAY are FEATURED EVENTS. Featured events are usually popular events that we or our advertisers don’t want you to overlook.
Calendar of fairs, festivals and parades for October
(If nothing is listed below, this month’s events haven’t been updated on our calendar for the coming year. Theoretically, this shouldn’t happen. We update festival information on a rolling basis as organizers announce new dates for the coming year. Some organizers announce next years’ dates as soon as the current year’s festival has ended, and some only announce new dates about 30 days before the event.)
