This year's CultureFest will celebrate the diverse and vibrant KoreaTown-Northgate Community Benefit District (KTO) neighborhood. This is a community that is overflowing with talented artists, musicians, great food and diverse cultures! Experience the many sights and sounds of a thriving, growing area located in between the revitalized and exciting Uptown and Temescal districts!
The event will reflect the unique character of the community's cultural and ethnic heritage and attract the multicultural population in the area. There will be performances by many talented local and Bay Area musicians (click here to view the preliminary list of performers). In addition, there will be martial arts demonstrations, dances from around the world, a car show, booths, children's rides, pet adoption and much more! The eclectic artist community will feature their creations and the ARTCart mobile project will engage attendees to create art at the event. A Community Bazaar will allow local residents and organizations to recycle and sell their used items. The focus will be on presenting a safe, family-friendly and fun-filled environment for all the festival attendees.
