Save the Date for the 5th Annual Seattle Boba Fest!

Saturday, August 1, 2026

Each year, bubble tea lovers came from across the Greater Seattle area to celebrate the U District as the capital of bubble tea in the Pacific Northwest with the annual Seattle Boba Fest! Neighborhood shops and restaurants featured wide array of traditional and unique bubble tea flavors as well as a variety of boba-inspired desserts, cocktails, and shopping specials! This event is organized by The U District Partnership to celebrate Seattle’s boba culture and our city’s highest concentration of bubble tea cafes and restaurants, here in the U District.

READY, SET, BOBA!

You can’t swing a Hello Kitty purse in the U District without hitting a boba tea cafe or restaurant! Whether you try one of the featured drinks from the Seattle Boba Fest menu or choose your own adventure, ordering boba is fun and easy – and the possibilities are endless! Each year, local businesses offer up an exciting menu of bubble tea and boba-inspired items!
