WALKDONTRUN ReturnS to the Emerald City sidewalks 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 creative curators and producers, 300+ artists, and a powerhouse crew of partners and volunteers mapped out a different kind of course—converting 20+ blocks of urban Sidewalks, plazas + 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—from Westlake Park to Occidental Square with an entirely new experience across art, music + performance. wanna join our crew? volunteer sign-up and community partnerships are open and ready for you to engage.

Start your pre-training now. Keep your eyes peeled, your ears perky, and your walking shoes ready as we unveil the next iteration of WALKDONTRUN in stride.
