About The Event

Experience Seafair Weekend before the crowds arrive, with rare, behind-the-scenes access to the making of the festival.

Seated at The Deck, Seafair Weekend’s VIP area, you’ll be immersed in the final build as it unfolds in real time, with hydroplanes moving into the pits as teams prepare for the Apollo Mechanical Cup Hydroplane Races.

Limited to 200 people, this intimate gathering pairs exclusive access with a relaxed, elevated brunch. The program includes the opportunity to bid on exclusive Seafair experiences through a live auction, including a vintage hydroplane ride, and concludes with a Raise the Paddle moment in support of Seafair’s future.

As brunch comes to an end, guests are invited to remain on The Deck and enjoy beverages from the cash bar while taking in a front-row view of the Blue Angles’ first practice over Lake Washington.

All funds raised directly support Seafair Charitable Foundation and sustain the events and experiences that bring our community together.
