The Othello Park International Music & Arts Festival

“Come Play with Us!”, Sunday August 17th. In a grassy meadow under big, old trees at the 8th annual Othello Park International Music and Arts Festival from noon until 6:00. A world of ethnic variety will convene with music, dancing, food, art activities, and booths. Of course, there will be Othello’s traditional petting zoo complete with camel, and his multicultural furry friends.

Recently refurbished, Othello Park features new walkways, entry ways, a permanent stage gracefully designed to suit its pastoral landscape, and a zip line. Come sit, relax, and enjoy the park’s beauty and the show.

Then you will want to be up and about visiting the array of tents and booths and sampling Rainier Valley’s colorful diversity of businesses and organizations. One large tent on the green will shelter the Festival’s traditional “Art Creation Station” to engage those young in age and young at heart, in a variety of hands-on visual art activities led by local artists.
