World Arts West 2024 Dance Festival is a three-weekend festival that showcases culture, wisdom and beauty through global dance and music, with a theme this year of ​“Dance as Activism.”

Join us for a FREE day of performances in the Presidio park to celebrate diverse communities through the art of dance. Enjoy fun interactive demos with festival artists, and grab a bite at one of the Presidio Pop Up’s yummy multicultural food trucks.
