This fall season the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum is pleased to once again host the World Festival, an annual event that celebrates ethnic diversity in greater Cleveland. The World Festival will take place in the Rock Hall’s Main Lobby on Sunday, October 9 from Noon to 4 p.m.

The event is FREE, however paid admission is necessary to tour the Rock Hall's exhibits. (That's why we are giving away tickets! See below!)

The greater Cleveland area is a rich mosaic of ethnic groups, each with their own traditions and musical legacies. This colorful festival with participants in their native costumes celebrates each culture through song and dance.  

Performers at this year’s World Festival include:

• Artistree – R&B Vocal Group
• Moises Borges – Brazilian Jazz
• Nano Cabrera – Puerto Rican Tropical Band
• Native Reign – Native American Rock Band
• NuHu – Reggae Band
• Mahima Venkatesh – Ancient South Indian Dance
• The Vernon Jones Blues Cartel
• Wind and Sand Dance Company – Middle Eastern Dance    

Also adding international flavor to the World Festival will be local vendors offering a diverse assortment of products, including arts and crafts, to the event.  

As part of an ongoing community festival series at the Rock Hall, the World Festival offers the opportunity for Cleveland’s diverse communities to become more familiar with the Museum and the variety of music genres and cultures it celebrates. This year’s World Festival is also part of Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl’s World Music Days, which uses the power of music to reaffirm commitment to peace around the globe.

We have a 4-pack of tickets to giveaway!
