SOAFEST FLYERS
The Sounds of Africa Festival (SOAFEST) is a dynamic cultural event celebrating the rich traditions, music, and heritage of Africa. Taking place on Saturday, August 16th, 2025, from 1 PM to 7 PM at Garfield Park in Everett, WA, the festival brings together diverse communities to experience African culture through music, dance, fashion, food, and business.
SOAFEST fosters cultural appreciation, strengthens community ties, and creates economic opportunities for African entrepreneurs and artists. Attendees can enjoy live performances by African musicians and dance groups, such as past performers Pa Omar Jack, Pa Bobo Jobarteh, The Kouyate Arts, Selassie Soldiers, WAWAC BIDEWW Choir, and more. A vibrant fashion show will highlight traditional and modern African styles, while a dance competition will showcase the energy and creativity of African movement.
The festival also offers an opportunity to explore authentic African cuisine from various food vendors, allowing attendees to experience a diverse range of flavors. Local businesses, artists, and community organizations will participate as vendors, selling crafts, clothing, and other goods while providing valuable resources.
By bringing Africa to Washington, SOAFEST entertains and educates, encouraging meaningful exchanges between African communities and the wider public. The event is free and welcomes all to immerse themselves in African culture.
