Seafair
Seafair is a summer festival in Seattle, Washington, that encompasses a wide variety of small neighborhood events leading up to several major city-wide celebrations. While many small block parties and local parades occur under the auspices of Seafair, most Seattle residents associate Seafair with the Torchlight Parade (and accompanying Torchlight Run), Seafair Cup hydroplane races, and the Blue Angels. Seafair has been an annual event in Seattle since 1950〔(History of Seafair - 1950's )〕 but its roots can be traced to the 1911 Seattle Golden Potlatch Celebrations.
==Events==
Seafair begins in early July; since 1972, its arrival has been heralded by the Milk Carton Derby, a whimsical boat race on Green Lake in which all the boats have been constructed out of empty milk cartons.〔(History of Seafair - 1970's )〕 Entries always range from those carefully shaped for speed and stability to those designed for maximum amusement. The Derby is usually associated with a variety of activities for children and families on the shores of Green Lake.
The Seafair Half Marathon was added in 2002, and in 2005, the full 26.2 Marathon was added. Participants can run or walk the and courses. If a shorter distance is more appealing, participants can run or walk a 5 km course. The 2008 Seafair Half Marathon and Seafair Marathon began at Husky Stadium, crossed the Evergreen Point Floating Bridge, and ended at Bellevue, Washington's Bellevue Downtown Park. After the race, live music was performed. In 2009, the Seafair Marathon and Half Marathon were replaced with the Rock 'n' Roll Seattle Marathon and Half Marathon.〔(The Seattle Times: Rock 'n' roll run set to replace Seafair Marathon, by Jayda Evans, August 6, 2008 )〕
In 2013, an Independence Day fireworks show at Lake Union known as the ''Seafair Summer Fourth'' was added to Seafair. The event replaces the previous ''Family Fourth'' event, which was cancelled by its organizers due to a lack of funding.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://seattletimes.com/html/localnews/2020740892_seattlefireworksxml.html )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.seattlechamber.com/News/Article/13-06-20/Seafair_Summer_Fourth_%E2%80%93_Know_Before_You_Go.aspx )〕
