Be a Sponsor

We are a network and organizing coalition of young, progressive Asian and Pacific American organizers, activists, nonprofit workers, and leaders seeking to build and change community through art, history, business, and social justice using music as a common ground to build connections.
CID Block Party is an annual FREE volunteer-driven community event that promotes the artistic, cultural, and economic vitality of Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) communities in the Greater Seattle area. Taking place under I-5, the event activates an under-utilized space that has historically divided our neighborhood. With your help we hope to bridge that divide and inspire more events that build local business and strengthen social unity in the CID!
