Coming up soon, on September 11: Fremont LoveFest, a music festival that also promotes a message of unity and environmentalism in 55,000 square feet of open space along the Fremont canal.

Enter at Solsticio’s Doorstep, 1100 N Northlake Way, right under the Fremont Bridge, along the canal from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Tickets are $22 through Brown Paper Tickets or 1-800-838-3006.
Music from Brazil, the Middle East, Jamaica, and many other countries, representing rock, reggae, soul, acoustic, funk, indie, and world beats will fill the ears of attendees as they learn from organizations such as General BioDiesel, ROAR of Washington, TerraPass and the Clean Water Foundation in this merged and dynamic statement of unity, environmental stewardship and social responsibility.
While all ages are invited to the festival, there will be a beer garden for those 21-and-above with ID. Proceeds from the beer garden will benefit ROAR of Washington, which stands for “Referrals, Opportunities, Advocacy, and Resources” for the homeless and disadvantaged while they seek education and employment.
Karl Denson’s Tiny Universe headlines a festival with instruments as varied as saxophones, a didgeridoo, tubas, assorted drums, an organ, Persian violin, and birds. Denson’s saxophone has been heard on Lenny Kravitz albums “Let Love Rule,” “Mama Said” and “Are You Gonna Go My Way?” He’s also known as the co-creator, saxophonist, flutist, and singer for The Greyboy Allstars.
The updated lineup also includes Flowmotion, Air 2 A Bird (Gabriel Teodros & Amos Miller), and Luc & the Lovingtons alongside Tubaluba and Christopher of the Wolves. Others who were already on the bill: Toussaint, Eduardo Mendonca-Show Brazil, and Raquy and the Cavemen, Clinton Fearon and the Boogey Brown Band.

Let’s not forget that Common Market has been added to the bill as well. Through the Clean Water Foundation and Seattle University’s Engineers Without Borders, water will be free with own cup or purchase of a $1 compostable cup. Also, TerraPass is a partner and we’re offsetting the festival’s CO2 as well as assisting everyone who attends in offsetting their CO2. The Fremont LoveFest is about Love for each other and the environment.

For those of you paying attention, here’s a little easter egg for you: FREMONTLOVEFEST9/11. Use this code for purchasing tickets to Fremont LoveFest and you will receive $5 off the ticket price. Enjoy!!!

^^^Thanks for the code! Finally a Seattle Festival that isn’t comprised of all indie rock! This city needs more gatherings like this, many thanks to everyone involved for getting this thing going. Bring on Flowmo and KDTU!

I don’t mean to be a dick but the 55,000 sq feet of ‘open space’ is actually an arterial route and parking lot for a number of business that operate on the weekends. From what I saw, this was another market/street party that was poorly advertised and attended. Plus, $22 for a love fest in a parking lot? C’mon, I’m sorry if you don’t like the vibrant local music scene but can’t you find a park or fair ground somewhere?
