The weekend extravaganza includes three processions and more than 120 performances, demonstrations and workshops, plus a hundred cultural vendors and exhibitors. The 23 acre park is covered with nine performance areas and five World Villages, each with a children’s cultural tent with free activities. The Festival includes the World Beat Dragon Boat Racing on the Willamette River on Sunday. In 2009, an estimated 48,000 people attended during the weekend.
The World Beat Festival is conducted by the Salem Multicultural Institute, an all-volunteer, non-profit 501(c)(3) organization with the mission of collaborating with public and private organizations to promote harmony and understanding through innovative, educational cultural programs and activities.
The Snow Leopard Trust will be participating in this event, selling our hand made crafts at our booth and offering discounted memberships and exciting new logo items!
