A week into January is usually about the time that we all switch over from post-holiday mania into "Ugh, when does it get warm again?" mode.

So, if you need something to put pep in your step and get you pumped for the new year — here's a list of events we're looking most forward to in 2023.

Spring 🌸

Summer ☀️

SeaFair | Tuesday, July 4-Sunday, Aug. 6 | Various times | Various locations | Prices vary | Seattle's most prominent, month-long festival will kick off once again with a fireworks show — followed by the usual hydroplane races, Blue Angels flights, and lots of good food.

Fall 🍁

Bumbershoot | Dates, time, and price TBA | Seattle Center | The festival recently changed hands, but the new folks anticipate a return this year. While no details have been released, past Bumbershoots happened over Labor Day.
