Events generally in Northern California
Celebrate our mosaic of American cultures at the second annual Mosaic Festival in Silicon Valley. This “destination” event is actually a journey that welcomes each of us to honor our unique history while also co-creating a vision of our shared future of belonging, healing, and harmony.
On Saturday Aug. 27 afternoon we welcome you to immerse yourself first, 3-6PM in workshops (mindfulness, arts and crafts) and inter-cultural performances. Then, from 6-10PM, experience the healing practices and (participative) performances by the tens of cultures in our very own neighborhoods + food trucks and vendors!
There will be a special international folk dance workshop hosted by the Folk Dance Federation 3-6pm. Join us to learn folk dances of the world.
Learn and enjoy with others simple social dances of the world. Join others for an afternoon of dances designed to get you on your feet and moving to music, holding hands, kicking up your heels, and meeting other new dancers. All ages and experience levels welcome. Family-friendly. Your instructors are Loui Tucker and Michel Hardbarger.
Don’t forget to check out our Fri-Aug 26th program! We encourage you to come as you are. This free event is for ALL, no prerequisites: We are committed to intentionally creating a space of empathy and compassion where everyone is welcome. And safety first, all current COVID guidelines will be followed.
By registering for the festival, you are automatically entered to join our raffle!
We acknowledge that this event will be held on Thámien Ohlone Tribal ethnohistoric territory, which based upon the 18 unratified federal treaties of 1851-1852, includes the unceded ancestral lands of the Muwekma Ohlone Tribe of the San Francisco Bay Area.
