Seafair Pirates' annual 'landing' at Alki Beach

The Seafair Pirates perform an annual staged 'landing' at Alki Beach Park as part of the larger Seafair festival, a summer series of events celebrating maritime and community culture in the Puget Sound region. The theatrical landing, with boats and costumed participants, serves as a kickoff for local Seafair activities and is a recurring public spectacle attended by residents and visitors. Seafair itself includes hydroplane races, air shows, parades, and neighborhood events that together are central to Seattle's summer cultural calendar. Alki Beach Park provides the shoreline venue for the pirates' landing and related public viewing.
