Thanks to the fine folks at Maritime Pacific Brewing Co. (George and Jane Hancock and their creative brew crew), there’s always plenty of Ballard’s best beer to quench your thirst and complement all our delicious seafood.

The other essential players at the Beer Garden are the parents and supporters of La Señoritas, a local, young women’s drill team. They have hosted our Beer Garden since, well, almost forever, serving up pints, pretzels and smiles. Your ‘pint’ patronage supports this dedicated group that promotes good sportsmanship, teamwork and responsibility. Two teams for different age levels practice year-round and can be seen performing in parades, competitions and exhibitions throughout Washington and Oregon.

So, enjoy yourself and support a great youth activity as well.  Cheers!

Salmon Bay Eagles Wine Garden

For those seeking a quieter, more mellow venue, head up Ballard Avenue for the Wine Garden. Table linens and bistro tables create a delightful spot that will make you think you've been transported to the Left Bank. With cool breezes, a quiant feel and delicious shade, this spot is quickly becoming a SeafoodFest favorite. You're welcome to bring your meal inside, where the devoted volunteers from the Salmon Bay Eagles and the Ballard Chamber will make sure your glass is never empty. And remember, now days, either red and white makes a great complement to seafood.

Patronage of the SeafoodFest Wine Garden supports both long-time Ballard organizations and helps keep the festival free to the public!
