Since its inauguration in 1978, the San Francisco Ethnic Dance Festival has maintained its pre-eminent scope and reputation as one of the most comprehensive, widely respected, diverse, and engaging events of its kind in the world. The 35th Anniversary Festival runs June 7 through 30 at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts and other San Francisco venues.
