Friday marks the official start of the 2022 Seafair Weekend Festival, from the sea to the air, expect to hear and see the roar of engines across Puget Sound.

Seafair Weekend Festival runs from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday, Saturday and Sunday. The iconic Pacific Northwest festival is set on 1.5 miles of shoreline along Lake Washington in Genesee Park and is the largest boat and air show rolled into one.

The festival's feature events include the Boeing Seafair Air Show, HomeStreet Bank Cup, Seafair Log Boom Presented by Bud Zero, Seafair South Turn Presented by Kona Brewing and Seafair Thunder Alley Presented by Cutwater.

Those who can't make it to the park this weekend can tune in to KONG TV with live coverage or king5.com/watch or tune in to 88.9 FM The Bridge for Log Boom Radio, Mercer Island High School’s radio station, which will be broadcasting the excitement all weekend long.
