Festál is a free series of annual ethnically-related festivals that take place on the grounds of Seattle Center in Seattle, Washington.
A major cultural program of Seattle, these festivals aim to celebrate and connect the city to its varied ethnic and international community.
Most festivals contain various arts performances （dances, theatre, musical ensembles, films）, dances, marketplace and other programs.
These have also come to be the annual gathering place for ethnic groups of the community.
Both older and younger people attend, especially the dances and musical concerts.
The Festál events range enormously in scope, from smaller festivals to the enormous pan-ethnic Northwest Folklife Festival, which draws an estimated 250,000 visitors on Memorial Day weekend.
Typical Festál events draw 5,000 to 30,000 visitors.
Some of them （such as Fiestas Patrias） draw crowds that are predominantly of the ethnic group that is the focus of the festival; others draw more of a cross-section of the city.
Festál began in 1996 and as of 2009 includes （all of those have been on hiatus on grounds of COVID-19 pandemic since March 2020）: The Têt Festival in February is the Vietnamese Lunar New Year celebration welcoming the return of spring.
