Edwardsville Unity is proud to announce the return of Unity Fest 2025, a vibrant celebration of community, culture, and connection. This year’s event will continue the tradition of bringing people together through shared experiences, meaningful conversations, and joyful expression — moving forward together.
Unity Fest 2025 will feature a dynamic main stage lineup including inspiring speakers, culturally diverse performers, and interfaith prayers shared from a variety of religious traditions. The festival will also offer family-friendly activities, collaborative art projects, and age-appropriate educational experiences centered on diversity and inclusion.
Community organizations will host booths throughout the park, providing information, resources, and hands-on activities to encourage deeper understanding and engagement. In alignment with Edwardsville Unity’s mission of inclusivity, no commerce will take place at the festival. Instead, free food and non-alcoholic beverages will be provided by local minority-owned businesses, made possible through generous sponsorships.
Since 2017, Edwardsville Unity — a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization — has worked to foster solidarity in Edwardsville and beyond through education, collaboration, and community building. Unity Fest has grown each year, becoming a cherished annual tradition and a powerful reminder of the strength found in diversity.
We invite individuals, organizations, and sponsors to be part of this year’s festival and help amplify the voices and experiences that make our community vibrant.
