The Festival celebrates the return of the North Pacific fishing fleet to the terminal, works to increase the public’s knowledge of the importance of the fishing industry as well as Fishermen’s Terminal to Seattle while raising money for the Seattle Fishermen’s Memorial Foundation.
This is an all-volunteer event that depends on over 200 volunteers for its success. The festival provides families with a fun and educational outing on the waterfront as well as an opportunity to learn more about seafood. Hands-on art projects with fishing themes, including the popular wooden boat building and trout pond, are complementary for all children and admission to the festival is free. Proceeds from the activities within the festival are donated to the Seattle Fishermen’s Memorial to assist families of fishers lost at sea. The Fishermen’s Fall Festival is a truly unique Seattle event!
New to the festival this year, stars of the Discovery Channel's "Deadliest Catch" including F/V Wizard Captain Keith Colburn will help to raise money for the Fishermen's Memorial by shucking crab and signing autographs in the Deadliest Catch Seafood Booth.
