Songs of Black
Folk 2025
Music of Resistance & Hope
As we prepare for Songs of Black Folk 2025, we continue celebrating the rich musical traditions of the African diaspora. This production honors the resilience, creativity, and legacy of Black music, from spirituals to gospel, jazz, and beyond. Each year, we strive to elevate Songs of Black Folk as the premier Juneteenth event in the Pacific Northwest, bringing together world-class artists and storytellers.
​
SBF 2025 will once again showcase the music born from the struggles and triumphs of enslaved Black people, tracing its evolution from Negro Spirituals to blues, jazz, gospel, R&B, hip-hop, and spoken word. Stay tuned for an unforgettable experience that uplifts, inspires, and celebrates the power of song.
OUR MISSION
The mission of SONGS OF BLACK FOLK is to utilize the Juneteenth holiday weekend as a compelling backdrop for a worldclass “Fine Arts” production that features elite African American artists, both national and local. This provides the Northwest audience with a Black Cultural Arts experience that rivals the most elite productions presented anywhere in the United States. In essence, SBF is the Northwest’s opportunity to annually experience the best of Black folk.
A world-class fine arts production that features elite African American artists, both local and national.
