Our 2026 Cinematique Venue:
Seattle City Hall
This year marks the first time Cinematique will be hosted at Seattle City Hall, held in the building's spacious lobby. Located at 600 Fourth Avenue in the heart of downtown Seattle, City Hall is the central hub of the city's government — a striking, LEED Gold-certified glass structure completed in 2005 and designed to reflect transparency and civic openness.
The lobby's open, light-filled space offers a welcoming setting for our resource providers, tablers, and families to connect, and its downtown location makes it easily accessible via Sound Transit Link Light Rail and King County Metro bus routes.
We are excited to bring Cinematique to this new venue as we continue to grow and serve more families each year.
What Happens at Cinematique
A Day of Unity, Support, and Opportunity
Cinematique is our annual Back-to-School Resource Fair, bringing thousands of families and community volunteers together for a full day of resources, activities, and connection.
The Resource Fair
Anchored at Seattle City Hall, families enjoy complimentary health screenings, haircuts, school supplies, family-friendly activities, giveaways, and food, alongside a variety of local vendors and resource providers.
Cinematique Day at the Sounders
The celebration continues at Lumen Field, where families, youth, and volunteers attend a Seattle Sounders match that afternoon, in partnership with the RAVE Foundation and Seattle Sounders FC.
Community at the Core
Cinematique is made possible through deep community engagement and strong partnerships with local organizations, sponsors, and resource providers.
What's Included
Registered youth and families may be eligible for a variety of additional resources, giveaways, and experiences courtesy of our partners and sponsors, while supplies last.
