Help HOMIE FEST 2025 Shine at Swan Dive June 27th Weekend!

HELLO!

after a 7 year break, our last one being august of 2018, we are bringing HOMIE FEST back to the people! this is HOMIE FEST's 6th festival, but it has been in existence since 2012. we strive to make the festival an all inclusive and SAFE environment & experience. the artists we choose are mainly BIPOC (Brown, Indigenous & People of Color) and/or LGBTQIA2+ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender & Trans, Queer & Questioning, Intersex, Asexual or Agender & Two-Spirit) striving to create a platform for artists who are often unseen or unheard and generally marginalized. this will be our first attempt at creating the festival in the city limits, as all the past festivals have been in the forests or in private lots such as farms, out in the country. because we are establishing the festival in the city this time around, it will be easier for people with disabilities who depend on public transportation to access the festival much easier, as a few people have already mentioned to us recently. this will also be a beneficial opportunity for the neighborhood of inner SE to receive local support & income from festival goers. this year, we are working with the homies LONELY GOD to make this a beautiful success at SWAN DIVE for the weekend of JUNE 27TH & 28TH, 2025.

in order to have the festival be a beautiful success this year, we are asking for donations from our community to help us reach this goal. with your donations, we will pay every single band, art direction, lighting, sound gear rental, sound engineers, venue rental, and many other elements. we are eternally grateful for your contribution & keep an ear out for more info about the fest! we are also going to throw a benefit show at star theater in may, stay tuned! https://www.instagram.com/homiefestpdx/
