2nd Annual Richmond International Dance Festival

Get ready for a one-of-a-kind celebration of global rhythm, color, and connection! Hosted by Culture Encounters, this is Richmond’s only multicultural dance festival—and it’s free and open to all. Enjoy free outdoor dance workshops for all ages, led by master instructors from Ghana, China, the Philippines, and more. Catch mini performances throughout the day, explore international flavors, and shop from a vibrant mix of cultural vendors. Then step inside the Recreation Center to experience cultural exhibits, music videos, and short films that offer a deeper look into traditions from around the world. The day ends in spectacular fashion with a Parade of Cultures—a joyful procession that honors heritage, identity, and the beauty of diversity. Come curious. Leave inspired. Dance, taste, and discover the world at Deep Run Park!
