There was something truly magical in the air during this year’s Seat Pleasant Day—a vibrant celebration of unity, pride, and community spirit. As a proud sponsor of this year’s festivities, the Prince George’s Arts and Humanities Council (PGAHC) was honored to be part of a day that so beautifully showcased the heartbeat of the “City of Excellence.”

From the rhythms of live music to the energy of the parade, from delicious local cuisine to children’s laughter echoing through the festival grounds, Seat Pleasant Day reminded us all of what makes Prince George’s County a cultural treasure. It was a day of joy, heritage, and creativity, and we were thrilled to be a part of this community event.

The Arts Belong Here

At PGAHC, we believe that every community deserves access to creative expression and cultural enrichment. Our sponsorship of Seat Pleasant Day is part of our broader mission to uplift and invest in the arts throughout the County. This year, we supported local performers, cultural vendors, and creative programming that reflected the dynamic identity of Seat Pleasant and its residents.

From live musical performances to spoken word, the arts added color and character to every corner of the celebration. Local artists shared their talent and stories, inspiring festivalgoers of all ages and backgrounds.

Community at the Core

Seat Pleasant Day is more than just a festival; it’s a reflection of the city’s strength, history, and vision for the future. This event perfectly aligns with PGAHC’s goals: to make the arts accessible, celebrate our shared heritage, and support local artists and storytellers who enrich our daily lives.

We were especially proud to connect with residents, leaders, and youth throughout the day. Whether through conversations at our booth, interactive art activities, or simply sharing in the joy of music and dance, we felt the power of community and culture in action.

Looking Ahead

We sincerely thank Mayor Kelly Porter Grant, the City of Seat Pleasant, and all the organizers and volunteers who contributed to the event's success. The city’s commitment to excellence inspires us, and we eagerly look forward to continuing our partnership to cultivate and support the arts in Seat Pleasant.

Reflecting on a successful Seat Pleasant Day 2025, we recognize that events like these are not just enjoyable—they are essential. They help build a stronger, more connected, and more creative Prince George’s County.

Stay informed about upcoming cultural events, artist opportunities, and ways to get involved with PGAHC. Together, we will ensure that the arts remain alive, vibrant, and flourishing throughout our community.
