San Francisco Ethnic Dance Festival

The World United Through Dance

Festival Artistic Directors Carlos Carvajal and CK Ladzekpo curated a thrilling line-up for the 34th Annual San Francisco Ethnic Dance Festival, featuring over 30 dance companies and hundreds of artists throughout the month of June. Each program includes innovative works by masterful dancers and numerous cross-cultural collaborations.

The Festival presents three exhilarating weekends at Yerba Buena's Novellus Theater from June 16 to July 1 and a lovely Benefit Evening at 6pm on June 30. Join us for a celebration of cultures from around the world and discover what Alastair Macaulay, Chief Dance Critic of the New York Times, describes as "a glorious achievement." He writes: "Here is one of the finest of all American dreams: a setting where cultures can celebrate their own traditions while honoring and applauding others. What I love is that the festival makes me feel so utterly a student, indeed, a novice."
