Ballard Seafoodfest is an annual festival held in the Ballard neighborhood of Seattle, Washington. The festival’s origins can be traced back to 1971 when leaders from Ballard’s industrial and fishing community joined forces with the Ballard Elks to start SeafoodFest to promote the neighborhood’s fishing industry and draw attention to the area’s Scandinavian heritage.

Today, the festival features a diverse range of seafood dishes from local restaurants and vendors, as well as live music performances, art exhibits, craft vendors, and family-friendly activities.
