This Festival is a coming together of some of the finest world music artists who call the Bay Area home. Their live music promises to ignite, transport and delight you.

The mission of the Berkeley World Music Festival is to support and promote the local artist and performance arts, as well as cultivate artistic vibrancy and social value of the world music panorama for the benefit of local communities.

By fostering ethnic literacy, the Festival promotes diverse musical traditions and furthers the recognition of the Bay Area as a center for world music and artistic expression.
