Seattle welcomes the summer season in June with a range of colourful events and festivals; in fact the city has an event for every taste and interest. We have compiled a list of a few of the most popular events and festivals that Seattle is hosting in the month of June.
Pagdiriwang Philippine Festival
This annual festival commemorates the independence of the Philippines. Since 1987, Seattle Centre has been hosting this event in the first half of June. Also, this event has emerged as the biggest festival to admire the cultural and artistic richness of the Philippines throughout the Pacific Northwest. The two-day event is a part of a series of cultural programmes called Seattle Center Festál and is scheduled for 06th and 07th June, 2015.
