Caribbean Seafest brings together the culturally and linguistically diverse Caribbean community across the Pacific Northwest, along with everyone eager to learn and experience Caribbean cultural expression, for a day of performance, celebration, and exchange.
Hosted by FVLR (Carlos Imani), MC T (Tunde Weekes), and DJ Garifuna (Yoelin Connors). Schedule subject to change.
Caribbean Seafest is carried by artists, elders, and culture bearers from across the region and right here in the Pacific Northwest.
Support helps keep this Pan-Caribbean celebration free and open to all.
