What to Expect at This Event 

World Arts West Dance Festival returns to the Presidio. Come out to the park for an afternoon of dance workshops and performances at Presidio Tunnel Tops – bring family and friends, a blanket and picnic, or walk over to Presidio Pop Up’s to purchase delicious food celebrating the Bay Area’s diverse cuisines.   

This event is part of a three-weekend festival that includes film screenings and other community activations rooted in this year’s theme, “Legacy of Liberation” – a theme which addresses the holistic needs of the community. World Arts West isn’t just providing visibility to artists but also economic empowerment, cultural preservation, and collective advocacy. See all the World Arts West Dance Festival activations this year.   

American Sign Language (ASL) interpretation will be available at the performance area. If you need an interpreter at another area of the event, please ask a staff person for assistance.
