Last year, the festival returned for the first time since 2019 to celebrate its 50th anniversary. “We are thrilled to be back and leading with an arts program that reflects the founding principles of Bumbershoot,” Steven Severin, co-president & director of music programming, shared in a statement at the time. “We heard from our community and took action — fulfilling our promise of affordability and inclusiveness. When re-imagining our festival for this return, we examined everything through an arts lens and expanded upon what art is and can be.”
