Sea Mar Fiestas Patrias commemorates the independence of Latin American countries, many of which celebrate their national independence day in the month of September.
Sea Mar began organizing Sea Mar Fiestas Patrias over twenty years ago in the South Park neighborhood of Seattle. Sea Mar expanded the celebration to the Seattle Center, where a large festival is organized with a variety of fun activities for all ages to enjoy, celebrating Latin culture.
The theme of the 2023 Fiestas Patrias is “Celebrating the Colors of Our Culture,” which showcases the diversity within the Latinx community in the state of Washington.
The event will celebrate diversity through food, art, music, dance, and traditions. The purpose of the event is for all attendees to enjoy a day of community learning and embrace the diversity of the Latinx community living in the state of Washington.
