Event Description:

The Seattle Chinese Garden's Bamboo Circle Celebration features drinks, dinner & music starting in the beautiful Knowing the Spring Courtyard. This annual celebration honors members of the Garden's Bamboo Circle, friends of the Garden who have been instrumental in making the Garden what it is today by sponsoring festivals & programs with generous donations of $1000 or more throughout the year.

Spanning 4.6 acres, it is one of the largest Chinese gardens outside of China, showcasing the four traditional elements of a Chinese garden: Plants, stone, architecture, and water. Dense and complex, it changes dramatically with each season and with the annual cycle of cultural festivals and celebrations. Located at South Seattle College, the Garden is designed to feature commanding views of downtown Seattle, Elliott Bay, and the Cascade Mountains.

What we'll be doing:

Volunteers will be assisting with the evening's program, especially with guest check-in and bid recording.

What you should know:

The Garden will provide drinks & snacks for volunteers. This is a gala event, so please dress nicely and wear comfortable shoes. Volunteers may be transitioning between outdoor & indoor areas so layers are recommended.

A note on parking/getting here: The Garden is located within the South Seattle College campus on the north end, so parking in the college lot is paid only. However, there are plenty of free street parking spaces available, especially along 16th Ave SW.

Seattle Chinese Garden:

The Seattle Chinese Garden showcases the rich heritage of Chinese arts and culture to our visitors by building, operating, and sustaining a Sichuan-style Chinese Garden that serves as a bridge of friendship between our region and Chinese people around the world. The City of Seattle and the mountainous Chinese Municipality of Chongqing became sister cities in 1983. In their first agreement, they undertook to create a Sichuan-style Chinese Garden in Seattle as a symbolic bridge of friendship between Seattle and Chongqing.
