Salty Sea Days returns as downtown Everett block party this weekend
EVERETT — A little scaled back and after 18 years on hiatus, Salty Sea Days returns to Everett this weekend.
The long-running summer festival was an annual multi-weekend gathering that featured a waterfront carnival, fireworks and a downtown parade in June. Its last season was in 2004, when the City Council stopped awarding it $70,000 from hotel tax money and the organizing group disbanded.
When Madison Vazquez joined the Downtown Everett Association as its marketing manager almost five years ago, people often asked about the festival’s fate.
“Once every few months, someone would go, ‘Hey are you guys going to bring back Salty Sea Days?’” Vazquez said.
