The festival was originally free to the public, but now charges admission; by 1973 it was a ten-day event with attendance at over 200,000; and today it is a four-day festival held at the Seattle Center on Labor Day weekend. Between 1971-1976 the festival was sponsored by Seattle Center, the Department of Parks and Recreation, and the Seattle Arts Commission.
