Bumbershoot
Bumbershoot is a colloquial U. S. word for umbrella.
Bumbershoot is also the name of an annual festival of music, art, and crafts held over the Labor Day weekend in Seattle, Washington's Seattle Center.
Originally run by the City of Seattle, the festival adopted its name in 1973, when it attracted 200,000 visitors. (For its first two years, it was known as Festival '71 [125,000 visitors] and Festival '72 [175,000 visitors].)
Admission was free until 1980, when One Reel took over production duties from the city. The city stopped financing the festival in 1995.
