Celebrate Indigenous Peoples' Day
October 13, 2025 is Indigenous Peoples’ Day – a day to recognize, honor, and celebrate Native peoples. Get ready for a day filled with festivities and appreciation for the abundant richness of Native communities, cultures, and history and participate in the many community-led events taking place throughout Seattle.
Everyone is invited to join the gatherings to lift up and honor the vibrancy of Native communities of these lands and beyond. We’ll celebrate the rich history, enduring legacy, and invaluable contributions of Native people, who have been an integral part of this region, and beyond, since time immemorial.
