ONE LOVE FESTIVAL
Sunday, July 20, 2025 | 1:00 PM – 7:00 PM | Othello Park, Seattle, Washington

The One Love Festival is a vibrant celebration of unity, culture, and community, inspired by the vision of bringing together the people of the African diaspora. Rooted in love and connection, this annual event honors the spirit and diversity of the African diaspora through food, music, art, and shared cultural experiences.

Held in the heart of Seattle at Othello Park, the festival features an exciting lineup of restaurants, food vendors, artists, makers, sound systems, DJs, and caterers from across the Pacific Northwest. Attendees can enjoy delicious food from across the African diaspora — from soul food to Caribbean, Ethiopian, West African, and beyond.

Live music and sound system DJs set the vibe with Afrobeat, reggae, dancehall, and diasporic sounds, creating an atmosphere of joy, rhythm, and unity. Local artisans and makers showcase their creativity through handmade goods, fashion, crafts, and cultural items.

This is a family-friendly event, open to all ages. Children and elders alike are welcome to experience the richness of culture and community. The One Love Festival is not just an event — it’s a movement to connect, celebrate, and uplift.

We do it for the love. We do it for the people. We do it together.

Leaders Now is a youth-driven leadership program that empowers teenagers to take on active roles as mentors, educators, and community builders. Designed to foster confidence, responsibility, and purpose, the program trains teens to teach younger children through hands-on experiences such as volunteer service, community cleanups, basketball coaching, drumming, and professional development workshops. Leaders Now promotes cultural pride, teamwork, and real-world skills, helping young people grow into confident leaders who uplift their communities and inspire the next generation.

We are reconfiguring our free youth basketball skills and drills program. We hope to resume classes soon.

Currently we are working with Seattle Nativity 6th grade boys by coaching their basketball season. We are partnering again this school year with John Muir Elementary by hosting a weekly hoops and homework weekly program.

We are actively seeking relief aid and essential items for victims of Hurricane Melissa. Many people in our community lost everything. People are without food, water and shelter. Now is the time to make a difference. Help us help Jamaica.
