Scenes from Rooted in Roosevelt 2025: eagerly awaiting the next band

The annual Rooted in Roosevelt neighborhood celebration is coming on September 19th, 2026! Here are four early opportunities to help us bring this year’s event to life:

1. Design our event poster 🎨

We are seeking local artists to help us design an event poster! This is a paid opportunity, and we will credit the artist on social media and at the event.

Donations are crucial to keep this event going! In our first year, we got funding from a city grant—but we can’t apply for it two years in a row. We need our neighbors to step in and fill the gap!

Your donation goes directly to Rooted in Roosevelt: it helps us pay our talented artist and musicians, reduces the barriers for small community groups to participate, and lets us run more programming.
