The Albert Lee Cup is the culmination of the month-long Seafair Festival and is undoubtedly the "Seafair" weekend that thousands look forward to each Summer. The action-packed weekend includes the fastest powerboats in the world, the Unlimited Hydroplanes and the Lights class with its high-intensity, deck-to-deck racing.
In addition to the high-speed action on the water that draws thousands of fans to Lake Washington, there is also a wide-variety of entertainment options for the whole family on land. Returning in 2010 will be music all weekend in Genesee Park and great Northwest food and fun in Genesee Park.
The arrival of the Fleet for Seafair is a tradition rooted in the formative years of the festival over 60 years ago. Over 5,000 sailors will disembark a half-dozen U.S. Navy, Coast Guard and Canadian vessels for a short liberty pass and the opportunity to take part in the high-speed Seafair action on Lake Washington.
For many though across the Pacific Northwest, summer and Seafair reach their pinnacle as the six pilots behind the yokes of the "Blue" Boeing F/A-18 Hornets make their thunderous and spectacular appearance at the Boeing Airshow at Seafair. Look skyward, run to the window or pull the car over, the Blue Angels will be soaring above Seafair again in 2010.
NOTE- There will be no fireworks on Saturday night this year.
