Welcome to Sacramento World Music and Dance Festival
Sac World Fest 2012
Sacramento is recognized as the most ethnically integrated big city in America. To celebrate this cultural and ethnic fusion, a spectacular feast of dance and live musical performances featuring world class talent, takes place 10a.m. to 5p.m., Sunday, October 7th at the 5th annual World Music & Dance Festival in Old Sacramento.
Lina Fat, past chair of this non-profit event and executive chef of Fat’s Restaurants says it best. “It’s extraordinary that dancers and musicians with ties from all over the globe will be performing right here in Sacramento.”
There is something for everyone with this FREE family festival:

- Step into The Global Village – of educational and interactive experience that teaches children and families about our region’s cultures through hands-on experiences (craft and art activities, dance clinics, and musical instruments).
- Rest your feet a minute in the Eagle Theater while you hear stories, poetry, and talks geared toward youth audiences.
- Learn from culinary experts as they cook with “Spices from Around the World.” (2012 Theme TBD)
There are no street closures and local restaurants will be open to the public.
