Description

Bumbershoot is back.

It’s been a while, and the festival is under new management, but the Labor Day weekend tradition is returning just in time to celebrate its 50th anniversary.

Bumbershoot is one of the longest-running festivals in the country, and, like most things in Seattle, people have a lot of feelings about it.

Seattle Times Music Writer Michael Rietmulder is here to remind us of what we’ve been missing out on, and what we can expect this year.

(Producer's Note: One of this morning's headlines was changed to reflect the status of the trial of Ethan Nordean.)
