Threads of Freedom 2026 - Roots & Radiance Market

Join us for Roots & Radiance Market, a vibrant Juneteenth-centered marketplace celebrating Black and African diaspora creatives, entrepreneurs, and culture bearers.

Part of Threads of Freedom: Where heritage, fashion, and freedom meet, this dynamic Seattle activation brings together fashion, art, and community during the 1st Seattle FIFA weekend—creating space for connection, culture, and collective economic empowerment.

Grounded in the principles of Umoja (unity) and Ujamaa (cooperative economics), this market is more than a shopping experience—it’s a celebration of creativity, heritage, and community power.

✨ What to Expect:
• Curated vendors featuring fashion, accessories, art, and handmade goods
• Live DJ + vibrant cultural atmosphere
• Opportunities to meet and support Black creatives and entrepreneurs
• Community-centered space rooted in culture and connection

Stage and Vendor lineup will be provided later! STAY TUNED!

We are currently seeking the following of the African diaspora:
• Vendors (fashion, art, beauty, lifestyle goods)
• Performers (music, spoken word, live art)
• Volunteers (event support, community engagement)
