The Shins, Art Brut, Devendra Banhart, Wu-Tang Clan, Menomena, and Andrew Bird were among those who lit up various venues throughout the Seattle Center this past Labor Day weekend as part of the latest annual Bumbershoot festival.

Not all the action took place onstage, however. In addition to live shots of the aforementioned and more, scroll down to catch the guys from Art Brut trolling the fairgrounds, the sisters of Smoosh cavorting with a local statue, Shins sharing snacks, and My Brightest Diamond's Shara Worden splashing around in a freaking fountain. Nice!
