2025 Othello Park International Festival

About This Grant

The Othello International Festival is a celebration of and for the members of the Othello community. This project will increase the involvement of people from diverse backgrounds in the Othello community. Activities will include an art creation station, face painting, ethnic dance performances, a petting zoo, carnival activities, live music, vendors, information booths, and food vendors/trucks. The purpose of this event is to continue to develop a neighborhood identity where people get to know one another and feel part of the community as a whole despite coming from all different backgrounds and cultures. In this way, they will feel motivated to share in other neighborhood improvements and endeavors such as neighborhood planning, clean-ups, promotions of the business district development, beautification projects, etc. We want community members and organizations to come together to ensure the place we call home is thriving.
