Celebrating Soul on The Water and the Waterfront Grand Opening

#Back2Besa on Good Day Seattle: From Soul on the Water to Grand Opening Vibes!

Besa Gordon, host of Back2Besa and Friends of Waterfront Park Ambassador, brought the excitement of Seattle's waterfront to life during her segment on Good Day Seattle this morning with host Erin Mayovsky. Highlighting the city's summer celebrations, Besa shared insights into the diverse and inclusive events transforming the waterfront, including Indigiqueer, the Black Night Market, and Africatown Community Land Trust's Soul on the Water.

The spotlight of her interview was the upcoming grand opening of Waterfront Park this Saturday from 11 am to 9 pm, which promises an incredible lineup of over 100 artists across nine stages. Besa emphasized the event's community-driven spirit, featuring performances by the Massive Monkees, Langston performers, Double Dutch Divas, and the ElectroNets, which truly embodied the message that the waterfront is a space for everyone.

With infectious enthusiasm, Besa invited viewers to join the celebration, showcasing how Seattle's waterfront has evolved from the old viaduct into a vibrant, welcoming public space. The grand opening represents not just a park, but a testament to community, joy, and the city's commitment to creating inclusive spaces where people from all backgrounds can connect, celebrate, and create lasting memories.
