Bumbershoot 2011: A Marathon for Arts Lovers

Written by: Tessa Perkins

With so many different things to see and do, Bumbershoot is an exercise in meticulous planning, careful preparation, and focused execution. If you don’t have your day carefully planned out, there is a serious risk that you’ll spend your time running around and trying to figure out what you should see next than actually seeing anything at all. It is quite frustrating in a way because there were multiple things happening at once that all seemed equally worthy of my time, but I was forced to choose only one. It has always seemed to me that Bumbershoot has about five festivals worth of programming jammed into three days (this year from Sep 3-5). From music, to film, to dance, to theatre, to comedy, and even visual art and spectacle, this festival really covers all areas of the arts to showcase the best that Seattle has to offer while also featuring many other artists.

(Calgary -- Sept. 4, 2011) Press+1 had a blast this past Labor Day long weekend at the 2011 Calgary Pride Parade and Street Festival! We helped spreading some fabulous positivity, diversity and unconditional human equality to a city of one million. The annual event was an opportunity for people of all genders, sexual orientations, and walks of life to unite and march together. According to the organizers, there were over 15,000 participants attended this year's parade and after party. Add a comment
