<h4>Africa Fashion Week is calling all kings and queens to step into where elegance meets purpose, and culture takes center stage in the most powerful way.</h4>
Our designers are bringing the HEAT this year—every look, every detail, every moment is crafted to leave you in awe. But beyond the glamour, there is impact. Through Africa Fashion Week Seattle, we are empowering orphans in Tanzania and supporting child education in Senegal—because true beauty is what we give back.
So come for the fashion… Stay for the purpose… Leave knowing you were part of something bigger.
Where Culture meets Fashion... Fashion, Culture, Diversity &amp; Goodwill

There comes a point in every season of life when we realize we've grown more than we give ourselves credit for.
Inner Harvest: Embodying Wisdom, Worth &amp; Wholeness is an invitation to pause, breathe, and honor the wisdom, resilience, and strength you've cultivated along the way.
Join Bio-Energy Healing Practitioner &amp; Intuitive Counselor Molly Grove and award-winning songwriter and producer Angela Soffe for a sacred evening around the fire where healing, music, meditation, storytelling, creative reflection, and ceremony come together in a deeply restorative experience.
As the sun sets over The Grove, you'll be gently guided through grounding meditation, meaningful reflection, a fire release ceremony, live acoustic music, Bio-Energy Healing, and a blessing circle—all designed to help you reconnect with your inner wisdom, strengthen self-trust, and embrace the next season of your life with greater peace and clarity.
If you've been longing to slow down, release what no longer serves you, and reconnect with yourself in the company of a supportive community, this evening was created with you in mind.
Join us on Saturday, August 29, 2026, at The Grove in Issaquah, Washington. Arrive at 5:00 PM to settle in before the experience begins at 5:30 PM and concludes at 8:30 PM.
Learn more about Molly's healing work at <a href="https://mollygrove.com/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://mollygrove.com/</a> and discover Angela's music at <a href="https://angelasoffe.com/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://angelasoffe.com/</a> .

Space is intentionally limited to create an intimate and meaningful experience. We would be honored to welcome you around the fire as we gather to celebrate the wisdom already growing within you.

Confluence Music Festival turns downtown Issaquah into a non-stop music playground. The park comes alive with jazz, blues, and a pinch of rock, showcasing both rising stars and fan favorites. It’s a chance to wander, dance, and discover music around every corner.
The festival creates joyful energy. Visitors from near and far fill downtown, boosting local shops, restaurants, and hotels, while families, friends, and neighbors connect over shared tunes.
Confluence puts Issaquah on the map as a hub for music and creativity, gives local musicians the spotlight they deserve, and fills the city with energy, laughter, and unforgettable moments—one song at a time.

Village Theatre

In 1902 New York, anything seemed possible. RAGTIME&nbsp;is a uniquely compelling exploration of America at the turn of the 20th century, weaving together three unforgettable stories: a daring Harlem pianist, a determined Jewish immigrant, and an affluent society woman. Each navigates a changing world, united by courage, compassion, and belief in the promise of the future.&nbsp; 
With its Tony Award-winning score blending ragtime, blues, jazz, and show tunes,&nbsp;RAGTIME&nbsp;has been hailed by&nbsp;TIME Magazine&nbsp;as “a triumph for the stage,” and by the&nbsp;International Herald Tribune&nbsp;as “the best musical in twenty years.”&nbsp; 
In a production marking our nation’s 250th birthday, this beloved epic musical bursts onto the Village stage, painting a vivid portrait of the people who built this country with hope for a brighter tomorrow.
