Art Walk Rainier Beach: A Cultural Homecoming
This free community event, held at the Rainier Beach Community Center Plaza, begins at 10:00 AM.  Seattle Mayor Ed Murray will introduce the 4th-Great-Grandson of Chief Sealth, for whom the City of Seattle was named. Tribal members will also share stories, song, and dance of the Duwamish people. Art Walk Rainier Beach is particularly honored to embrace the Duwamish people with community support this year in light of the recent decision by the federal government to deny formal recognition of the tribe.
 
Throughout the day, the event will go massive with headliner world-champion break dancers The Massive Monkees leading an impressive list of high-powered multi-cultural music, dance, spoken word, and interactive arts performances on two stages.

Showcasing the incredibly rich, diverse talent of the Rainier Beach and Rainier Valley Area, the line-up includes:
World-champion break dance troupe Massive Monkees
America's Got Talent 2009 Semifinalists, the Eri Am Sisters
Two Story Zori, a reggae band whose founders attended Rainier Beach High School
Haida Master Canoe Carver Sa'a'du'uts, artist in residence at Center for Wooden Boats
Performances and demonstrations representing many Rainier Beach resident cultures: Marimba, lion dancers, gospel, jazz, folk and blues, traditional ethnic and modern dance, traditional Chinese calligraphy, and martial arts demonstrations, a peace flag maze, international totem pole project, and more.
