Seafair could not happen without the enthusiasm and hard work of more than 5,000 volunteers, who strive to carry out the Seafair Mission of "connecting and celebrating the community spirit of the Puget Sound." From ticket takers to parade marshals, pirates to princesses, volunteers provide the dedication, energy and enthusiasm that make Seafair a summer sensation year after year. Seafair family groups are longtime festival volunteer organizations that provide logistical planning support, as well as pure fun and entertainment for all!

The Seafair Clowns have long been an integral part of Seafair festivities. In addition to participating in community parades and festivals throughout the Puget Sound area, the Seafair Clowns spend countless hours visiting hospitals and nursing homes during the year in an effort to spread laughter and good cheer.
