Need for Speed Festival

Description:
The Seafair and the Blue Angels celebration runs full-throttle with the weekend Need for Speed Festival. At the foot of the Blue’s launching pad, the Museum’s East Lot will combine family activities surrounded by fast planes, fast boats and fast cars.

The event will bring together speedy World War II fighters from the Heritage Flight Museum, Paul Allen Flying Heritage Collection and the Historic Flight Foundation, a T-38 jet from the Olympic Flight Museum and special aircraft from The Museum of Flight’s collection. The festival is home base for the front line F-18, T-38s and A-10s performing in the Boeing Air Show at the Albert Lee Cup hydroplane races. Speedy driving will be represented by over a dozen high performance and race cars. And the Hydroplane and Raceboat Museum’s Century 21 hydroplane will fill the bill for speedy boats.

Need for Speed will also offer a beer garden, a sandwich kiosk, souvenirs, kids’ activities and New Orleans-style rhythm and blues by Hank and the Two Scoops.

Need for Speed is free with admission to the Museum.

Please note: due to the large number of activities and visiting aircraft, parking near the museum will be limited. Alternate nearby parking will be provided.
