The Museum of Flight is the go-to place to be this Seafair weekend! Jet Blast Bash, their annual outdoor Seafair festival, offers fast planes, live music, food and a beer garden with the closest seats in Seattle to the thunder of the U.S. Navy Blue Angels’ takeoffs and landings. 

Be in the center of it all and witness the country’s most iconic pilots start their journey to the sky. 

Jet Blast Bash activities are FREE with museum membership or general admission. Please be aware that running jets can cause noise and exhaust hazards and come prepared with ear and eye protection.
