Event Details

Presidio Trust

World Arts West Dance Festival returns to Presidio Tunnel Tops on Sunday, September 6th from 1-4pm. Come out to the park for an afternoon of dance workshops and performances. 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. 

Weekend Three in the park will feature live dance performances by Academy of Danse Libre, Amazed by Grace Dance Ministry, Los Lupeños de San José and Uzumaru. Dancers Tainah Damasceno and LaKiesha Golden will also lead us in community Brazilian Line dances for the whole family to join!
