Bumbershoot |
The Buzz -- After the success of the 1962 World's Fair, the city considered creating another local event to draw crowds to the Northwest. The answer? Bumbershoot. Now celebrating nearly four decades of festivity, the non-stop arts event features a wide range of musicians, poets and artists on a multitude of stages. Festival-goers can soak it all in for the cost of a day pass. Recent performers have included well-known acts like Wu-Tang Clan and Sean Paul, as well as exciting up-and-coming artists like The Avett Brothers, a folk and bluegrass trio based in Concord, NC. |
