First held in 1980, Festival Sundiata is the longest-running African American festival in the Pacific Northwest, and was named in remembrance of Sundiata Keita, founder of the Mali Empire. Spotlighting the many cultures and ethnicities of people of African descent, this festival celebrates Juneteenth with a groovy blend of hip hop, dance, and gospel performances, plus an art gala, youth drill and dance teams, a marketplace with African American vendors, soul food, and more.
