More info on Cel­e­brate Dance Fes­ti­val: Cel­e­brate Dance Fes­ti­val pro­motes the regional dance com­mu­nity to res­i­dents and tourists of San Diego by pre­sent­ing per­for­mances, classes and work­shops in a wide range of styles, eth­nic back­grounds and abil­i­ties, at no charge to the pub­lic, in an acces­si­ble cen­ter for arts and cul­ture, Bal­boa Park.

Mis­sion: Cel­e­brate Dance Fes­ti­val seeks to enrich the cul­tural her­itage of our region and pro­mote San Diego as a cul­tural destination.

A Brief His­tory: Eveoke Dance The­atre founded the annual, free Cel­e­brate Dance Fes­ti­val in 1996 with sup­port from Bal­boa Park. Eveoke has used many dif­fer­ent loca­tions through­out the park, while the 600-seat Casa del Prado The­atre and the out­door Prado Stage have con­tin­ued to be the anchor attrac­tions for many fes­ti­val events. Street per­form­ers, photo exhibits, dance classes, work­shops and lec­tures have aug­mented more than 75 per­for­mances dur­ing the 4th week­end of August each year.
