SEATTLE, Dec. 4, 2024—On Dec. 21 Sasquatch arrives via helicopter to headline the Museum’s celebration of wintertime fun during the winter solstice, Solstice with Sasquatch. The famous furry friend from the forests will be flown to the event by the Washington Department of Natural Resources in its UH-1H Huey helicopter. Generally known for their shyness, Sasquatch says the event allows them to open up a bit and have fun with humans.
The arrival is scheduled for 10:30 a.m. on the Museum tarmac, with sightings throughout the Museum galleries until 3 p.m. Other events include family activities, planetarium shows, live performances of holiday music, wintery family workshops, plus free gift wrapping at the Museum Store.
Solstice with Sasquatch events are free with Museum membership and included with general admission. The helicopter landing is free for all.
