I Music Fest is more than a concert—it’s a full-day celebration of music, food and fun with a bigger purpose. On Saturday, Sept. 6, 2025, the former Mall site at 3919 Lafayette Road will come alive with live performances, food trucks, a beer garden, family activities and more.

At its core, I Music Fest is a fundraiser for the International District Community Center. Every beat of the music fuels programs that matter—after-school classes that keep kids inspired, job training that helps parents build brighter futures and events that bring neighbors together. Join us for a day of entertainment that truly makes an impact.

Nope. Admission is free. Bring your family, bring your friends, bring your best dance moves. Food, drinks and Family Fun Area activities will be available for purchase.

Yes. I Music Fest is for all ages. The Family Fun Area features bounce houses, face painting, a petting zoo, pony rides and more. Activities require tickets, available for purchase at the festival. And for adults 18 and older, the mechanical bull is waiting.
