12th Street will be packed with Music, Food, and Family Fun! The challenging jobs are taken but we could use a handful of volunteers to help watch the cross streets of 12th.

Sign up now as a “Lawn Chair Lane Supervisor” and we’ll get you outfitted in one of our fantastic 2023 edition TeeShirts. Lots of volunteers mean lots of breaks!

Did you go? We haven't before but were cycling home around 4pm and crossed 12th - looked like a lot of good music and a decent number of stalls... didn't get a chance to wander around though... end of a long day. New West is a festival every weekend in the summer :)

I was in Seattle this weekend (Taylor Swift), so I wasn't able to make it, sadly.

Ahhh - a rather bigger audience! I think we'll try & make an effort to see it properly next year, esp if they have a bike valet. Always fun to support these things and I never see much of 12th.
