What We Do
“Philadelphia has always had a place in the conversation of music history. West Philadelphia has produced some of the world's greatest artists and continues to be a haven of artistic excellence.”
Our Mission
Community Unity Music Festival encourages the young people of our communities to submerge themselves in the arts, which will help provide a world view instead of a corner view. Our job is to provide an alternative that can turn into a complete life change and, if pursued, a life-affirming and fulfilling career.
“I look forward to coming to the festival anytime I have the opportunity. It reminds me of home.
— Branford Marsalis
