Ballard SeafoodFest 2017

It was an amazing 43rd Ballard SeafoodFest! We are so grateful to those who celebrated, volunteered and sponsored this community event. We will see you next year for more fish and fun!
Forty-three years ago some folks in Ballard decided to get together and throw a salmon barbecue to celebrate the community's strong ties to the maritime industry. We are happy to announce that the tradition will continue in 2018.
