There are arts and crafts, live music, tasty food, performers and some of the best people watching in the city! Remember, Hempfest is a legal gathering but all local, state and federal laws are in full effect at Hempfest, and Seattle parks are designated "Drug Free Zones" increasing penalties for selling and buying controlled substances. Hempfest is the worst place to attempt to buy or sell illegal substances of any kind.
