The 4th Annual East African Heritage Festival is a Wrap! ✨
Two thousand people. One community. Twenty-five years in the making.

SeaTac showed up, showed out, and reminded everyone why this corner of the Pacific Northwest is unlike anywhere else on earth. From the stage to the marketplace, from the coffee ceremony to the dance floor, EAHF 2026 was everything.

To every family who came through the gates, every elder who shared their story, every child who danced in public for the first time — this day was yours.

None of it happens without the people who believed in it first.

Thank you to our Presenting Sponsor, the City of SeaTac, for making EAHF home.

Thank you to our Major Sponsor, Amazon, for making this festival free for our community.

Thank you to our Supporting Sponsors: 4Culture, Kaiser Permanente, Black@KP, and Sound Transit.

Thank you to our Community Sponsors: Compass Construction, United Way of King County, Living Well Kent, Ally Community Development, and Voices of Tomorrow.

And thank you to every Community Partner who walked alongside us: Sheger Entertainment, WA Africa Diaspora Commission, Eritrean Community Center, Washington Bus, Samawado Women's Health, Seattle Housing Authority, Boys & Girls Club, Seattle Colleges, Celebrating Roots, SeaTac Police Community Engagement, and Boona Boona Coffee.

25 years of EACS. One unforgettable afternoon. See you in 2027. 🧡🩵
