This eclectic, intimate, and family-friendly festival runs for three-days at Remlinger Farms from August 9-11, 2024. There’s really something for everyone at this festival. THING Festival offers music, food, art, and adventure for people of all ages. It’s one of our favorite summer Seattle activities.
