San Pedro Festival of the Arts Celebrates 20 Years of Dance and Family

 

The San Pedro Festival of the Arts returns, with twenty vibrant dance companies, interactive performances, and free family fun to the heart of the Harbor Area. Bring a picnic blanket, join in a Bollywood step or a flamenco turn, and enjoy an afternoon of world-class dance under the San Pedro sun.

A special feature of this year’s festival is “2 Moves,” an interactive experience that invites audience members to learn two movements from each performance. Before or between dances, participating artists will guide spectators through movements inspired by their work, offering a firsthand look at some of the styles and cultural influences represented onstage. Audience members can join the dancers on the lawn and then return to their chairs or blankets to enjoy the next performance. The festival will also include a free raffle drawing.
