Explore last year's Festival

Date this year Sept 21 2024

Deadline for Dance applications- July 31, 2024

Apply now for the festival- live again this year

The San Pedro ♥ Festival of the Arts is a free family event, in the past featuring Dance, Music & Visual Arts/Crafts Booths. This year, our 18th, we approach it with the focus on dance. The festival was again awarded a Department of Cultural Affairs, City of Los Angeles Festival Grant. This project is also supported by the LA County Department of Arts and Culture and the California Arts Council. Performance date for the festival this year is Saturday September 21 at Peck Park during the day. We are interested in all dance forms performed by professional companies including traditional ballet and modern as well as ethnic dance forms, tap, fusion, jazz, and hip-hop. Also included are 2-3 pre-professional companies or schools. Any not fully vaccinated will be asked for tests approx. one week before performances if that is still the standard in LA County. The performance is outside and it is daytime so no projections are possible. The raised outdoor stage with a dance floor is 28 x 32 ft.

Several years ago we created a hybrid festival with a virtual division, and until we see a bit more clearly where Covid-19 is at that point, we are anticipating mostly live, with some on video/film to be streamed. Please honor the length requirement. To see last year's companies see the official website https://triartSP.com

Honorarium for all professional companies selected.

Final Deadline to apply July 31, 2024.
