Flying Freeway
The most high-flying art experience Freeway Park has ever seen is on view through September 30. Hundreds of kites will wind their way through Freeway Park, surprising and delighting park-goers. In Seattle, one of the country’s most multicultural cities, these kites will spark an uplifting, cross-cultural and cross-generational experience. “Seattle Parks and Recreation believes art and culture are components of recreation for all ages, and serve the diverse recreation needs of our community.” - Seattle Parks and Recreation Department, Victoria Schoenburg
