I asked about the No Firearms statement on their website:
Hello,
Seafair is granted an Exclusive Use Permit for the Seafair Summer Fourth Fireworks Celebration in Gas Works Park by the City of Seattle Parks and Recreation Department. This exclusive use permit is within the fenced perimeter of the Park, and authorizes Seafair to mandate rules that maximizes safety at the event. This includes conducting a bag search at the gates and enforcing our No Weapons rule.
Our exclusive use permit creates a private venue format similar to a stadium or concert venue, allowing Seafair to set rules for the safety of the attendees. These rules were generated through collaborative input from Seattle Parks, Seattle Police, Seattle Fire, and Seafair.
Seafair’s top priority is to provide Seattle residents and visitors with great entertainment in a safe environment. We hope you will join us at the Seafair Summer Fourth, however no weapons will be allowed in the Park.
Thank you for your inquiry.
