Our Land Acknowledgment: As we gather, we respectfully acknowledge that our event is taking place on occupied Coast Salish land and that Seattle Southside Chamber is on the homelands of the Duwamish people. We pay respect to Coast Salish Elders past and present and extend that respect to their descendants and to all Indigenous people.  Why do we recognize the land?  To recognize the land is an expression of gratitude and appreciation to those whose territory you reside on and a way of honoring the Indigenous people who have been living and working on the land from time immemorial. It is important to understand the long-standing history that has brought you to reside on the land and to seek to understand your place within that history. Land acknowledgments do not exist in a past tense or historical context: colonialism is a current ongoing process, and we need to build the mindfulness of our present participation. It is also worth noting that acknowledging the land is Indigenous protocol. http://www.lspirg.org/knowtheland

Muz Fest is the Pacific Northwest’s largest cultural festival celebrating creativity, community, and connection. Held annually in Seattle, Muz Fest brings together thousands of people from diverse backgrounds to honor the rich cultural fabric of our region through live music, food, art, storytelling, and local business showcases. Founded by young community leaders, the festival is rooted in a mission to uplift underrepresented voices, foster economic opportunity, and create joyful spaces where people feel seen, valued, and inspired. In its first year, Muz Fest welcomed over 2,300 attendees, supported 40+ minority-owned small businesses, and showcased eight cultural communities. The event received formal recognition from Governor Jay Inslee for its cultural and economic impact across Washington State. In 2025, Muz Fest returns bigger and bolder, expecting over 4,000 attendees and cultural representation from across the globe.
