The album cover photo shows the annual Summer Green Lake Contradances, put on for free by a group of musicians. Here is a video:

THE big event for me in Seattle is the FOLKLIFE Festival, every year during Memorial Day Weekend (the last weekend in May), Friday through Monday.
I volunteer for it (this year I helped my friend Beth, who is a festival staff member, in the week before the event, and I worked at Festival Services), but 90% of the time I dance in the Roadhouse (now called Warren's Roadhouse, after a much beloved late organizer).

I want to include Doug Plummer's amazing videos ...

... and dance glimpses filmed by others (I am in the crowd somewhere, but not visible):

This is the Waltz Night:

In my few breaks from dancing, I enjoyed the jamming in the Hospitality Area (for performers and volunteers):

and I watched International Folkdancing:

Monday evening sees another amazing event, the "Folkfloor Party" (again, Doug Plummer):
