WorldBeat Cultural Center brings music, culture, and sustainability together for a free, all-ages festival.
This year’s festival features a dynamic lineup of live music, including Grammy Award-winning artist Kabaka Pyramid, The Stinkfoot Orchestra (a 14-piece tribute to Frank Zappa), Mariea Antoinette, and more. Cultural performances from around the world—including Taiko drumming, West African dance, Brazilian samba, and Native American drumming—highlight the event’s global spirit.
Attendees can explore the Ethnobotany Sanctuary Garden, offering hands-on experiences such as a seed swap, morning bird walk, plant sale, wellness workshops, and presentations from local environmental organizations.
The celebration also includes a curated marketplace of eco-conscious vendors, a vegetarian and vegan food court, and interactive earth-art activities for children—creating an engaging, all-ages experience rooted in sustainability and community.
