On Sun., Aug. 22, from noon to 6 pm, the community is invited to join the Othello Park Alliance (OPA) for an afternoon of live performances, hands-on youth activities, and community building with the 2010 Othello Park International Music & Art Festival.
Building on four highly successful years of Othello Park concerts and festivals, this multi-ethnic, multi-age event invites local residents, businesses, artists, and community groups to enjoy music, art, and food together in the vibrant public space of Othello Park.
The Park is located just one block east of the intersection of Othello Street and Martin Luther King Jr Way, a short walk from the Othello Light Rail Station.
The dynamic entertainment line-up for the event includes music and dance performances that highlight Southeast Seattle’s diverse styles and cultures.
Headlining musical acts include Mariachi Colima, Zydeco Locals, and Red Heart Alarm. Festival-goers will also have the opportunity to enjoy food from area restaurants and food vendors: Jones Barbeque will offer specially-priced festival plates along with many other choices.
In keeping with the family-oriented arts and music theme of the festival, youth will have the chance to create art: an “Art Creation Station” will engage youth in a variety of hands-on visual arts activities led by local artists.
Your RVP is proud to partner with Othello Park Alliance and other local organizations to present cultural and public affairs events in and around Southeast Seattle. We offer a limited number of media sponsorships to cultural and arts organizations to help offset promotion costs. Learn more.
