Put The “U” in Umoja!
Join us for an evening of music, fun, networking, inspiration in support Seattle’s premier African American Seafair summer celebration. Network with established and up and coming movers and shakers of Seattle.
"Umoja" is a Swahili word which means "unity", is the main theme of the annual African American Seafair summer celebration. An artistic and cultural extravaganza that uniquely touches the spirit of the community, the Umoja Fest brings people of all ethnic backgrounds together for a celebration of culture, education, social festivities and networking.
In addition to producing a great community event, Umoja Fest offers a great opportunity to join in empowering our youth. Through strategic partnerships with Seattle Vocational Institute and the City of Seattle Summer Youth Employment Program we host the Umoja Fest Summer Youth Academy. Youth participate in a seven week academic enrichment and work experience helping with the planning, production and marketing of the festival.
We are fundraising for a big Umoja Festival coming up. Your support will help underwrite the costs of permits, staging, sound system, insurance, advertising and the many other costs that make this wonderful event possible and free of charge to the community. Please help continue the legacy of this valuable community institution that started over 60 years ago with the East Madison Mardi Gras celebration.

Among the players who are scheduled to participate are Brandon Roy, Jamal Crawford, Aaron Brooks, Jason Terry, Terrence Williams, Nate Robinson, Spencer Hawes, Martel Webster, and many others.
