FEST26 Meetups

Join your fellow cinephiles for a gathering in between screenings! 

Find your SIFF community and celebrate film at our official Meetups. The Seattle International Festival is partnering with businesses nearby our screening venues for eight social gatherings as part of your Festival experience. Support a local establishment while you discuss your favorites, compare passports, and share the Festival hype. 

Don’t miss out; add these dates to your calendar! 

Additionally, we’ve hand selected films before or after these events within walking distance, so you can make the hangout a proper outing!
