- First
priority is with those performers who are representing their own
culture. Others who have studied the music or dance of another culture
are also accepted as time permits, as we recognize that music and dance
are a bridge to communication and connection.
- We also make every attempt to have representation of a variety of cultures and performance type.
Food Vendors:- Food vendors must comply with all Health Department regulations.
- Fee: $30 to the Festival (plus any fee imposed by the Health Department, payable to them).
