WALKDONTRUN ReturnS to the emerald city streets of downtown seattle on saturday, september 19, 2026—and we want you in the flow.

new to the block? [ cue the backstory ]

In 2025, seven visionary curators, 300+ artists, and a powerhouse crew of partners and volunteers mapped out a different kind of course—converting 20+ blocks of downtown Sidewalks, plazas + business parks into living, breathing cultural stages.

Thousands showed up, moved at their own pace, and tapped into a free, open-to-the-public day of art, music + performance launching Seattle’s signature Arts + Culture Week with beauty and intention.

this year, we continue to go the distance [ actually, the route is shorter and downhill ], but we are building momentum with new roster positions [ artist open call launches april 1—aka, start your pre-training now ] and our team is growing.

so keep your eyes peeled, your ears perky, and your walking shoes broken in as we build this next evolution in stride together.
