OUR STORY
U Productions is born from celebration.
Our story began in 2018. Our Expansion Festival co-founder Shoshana Glickman was turning 21, and our founder Aliko was assigned to throw her a birthday party. And what a birthday party it was. A birthday party quickly became a festival called Spring into Community. Located in Duvall, Washington, change-makers, musicians, artists, dancers, and speakers interlinked by friendship, banded together for a weekend of celebration, love, and joy. This event would, in the next year, become Expansion Festival 2019, where that same group of friends gathered once again to spread their gifts to more of the Pacific Northwest.
U Productions, born out of the magic of Expansion 2019 was envisioned from its success.
Quickly following Spring into Community, came the Village Events, Avant Gardens Tasting Parties, Expansion Festival, Thought Leaders Party, and several house concerts featuring bands like Earth Practice, Ahaly Blakely, and Wolfchild.
