2025-07-19 11:00 - 19:00 | Seattle Center – Armory, 305 Harrison St, Seattle, WA, 98109, United States
This year, the Seattle Arab Festival shines a light on Syria through our theme: Roots & Radiance. We honor the spirit, resilience, and cultural richness of the Syrian people — and celebrate the enduring hope for freedom and renewal. Syria’s story, rooted in deep heritage and carried forward by those who dream of a better future, is the heartbeat of this year’s festival. While Syria takes center stage, our performances, cuisine, and marketplace proudly represent the diverse cultures of the entire Arab world.Join us in celebrating freedom, culture, and community through music, dance, food, and shared traditions.

Falasteen in the Valley: A Benefit Festival | Oct 24-25 | Leavenworth, WA
Last year, hundreds gathered with us in solidarity in Leavenworth and raised over $7,000. This year, we rise even higher.
This year we are thrilled to partner with @yahalaseattle and @palestineforeverfest – Ya Hala will be hosting a special community space at the festival to foster an intimate and familiar sense of home for those who know Palestine and the Levant. It is a new and engaging experience for those less familiar, and all are welcome.
Join us Oct. 24-25 in Leavenworth, WA for a weekend of music, dance, poetry, and art that turns cultural expression into defiance, resistance, and resilience.
Friday: Festival kick-off headline concert by @ramzi_aburedwan & Dalouna Ensemble w/@adwanmoneim + guest performance by @hanadykader
Saturday: Dabke, poetry, global + local musicians, and a headline performance by oud virtuoso @clarissabitar
Why come?
Because art is resistance. Community is strength.
Proceeds support aid for Gaza + music education for Palestinian youth, and support of displaced Gazan musicians and their families.
Join us where joy is defiance & solidarity is the rhythm of the tableh beneath our skin.
Follow @houseofsumoud for more details, event updates and ticket announcements NEXT WEEK!
Book your stay and accommodations in the Wenatchee Valley, or if you’re joining as a valley community member, bring your friends, family, and colleagues to help us rally our community around Palestine!
