The exploratory process comes after a one-year hiatus for Bumbershoot in , which will continue in because of event restrictions associated with COVID The Committee will explore how best to move the festival forward as it considers the process through which the festival is produced. As part of that process, it will invite public input and feedback as it weighs the benefits to the festival and feasibility of new producing partners and year-round opportunities to create a sustainable model for the festival and brand.
Over the many years, Bumbershoot has grown in stature, scope, complexity, budget and audience. Since then, the City has continued to support One Reel, working with the presenting non-profit to develop a new business model to sustain the Festival, most recently through a five-year partnership with AEG Presents, which ended in , to produce the Festival.
You might have seen a larger arts-and-crafts component, for instance, a quiz show hosted by local celebrities or a play produced on the grounds. Over the years, the event grew and the city recognized the challenge of producing it. Bumbershoot continued to boom as the festival-style live music scene grew in the early part of this century. But the festival began to see declining interest in recent years for a number of reasons — all of which have plagued the once-rock-steady music festival circuit nationwide.
AEG made key changes to the format, leaning heavily on the live music component and drawing young people rather than a daylong multigenerational crowd. Combine that with other problems, like weather cancelations and the loss of Key Arena as host to headlining acts, and interest began to lag.

That was kind of the nail in the coffin, I think. And the barricade. Those are some really big challenges that occurred.
