Belltown Blast / Paint Jam

The Belltown Blast & Paint Jam will be an epic one day community block party and street festival — and the finale event for the Belltown Mural Festival!

The Blast will fill the streets from 12pm-10pm on Saturday (8/09) — an all day extravaganza for the public to enjoy live musical performances, festival vendors, and the thrill of creating mural art alongside others.
