Tibet Fest provides a unique opportunity for the Tibetan community to embrace their cultural identity with pride, and to introduce themselves to the public as part of the greater diverse population in Seattle and across the nation.

The 2025 festival on August 9 & 10 marks 30 years of Tibet Fest! Over the festival weekend, guests and attendees can expect a full line-up of Tibetan food and vendors, as well as performers who include youth from their local cultural arts school, other Pacific Northwest artists of traditional Tibetan culture, and international performers from the alumni network affiliated with the Tibetan Institute of Performing Arts.

Don’t miss this opportunity to connect with Tibet’s unique but often inaccessible culture through arts, culture, and a rich spirit of coming together. The Tibetan Association of Washington is a non-profit organization that strives to preserve and promote the unique Tibetan cultural traditions within the Tibetan Community and share it with Washingtonians and the rest of North America. The first festival took place in 1995 and has become one of the most attended festivals where visitors, artists, and performers from India, Canada, and Europe come to Seattle to celebrate.

Tibet Fest is part of Seattle Center Festál, a year-round series of 25 free cultural festivals. Learn more about Festál (seattlecenter.com/festal).
