It's our 8th Annual Redwood Coast Belly Dance Festival in Arcata, CA

Redwood Coast Belly Dance Festival is presented by Shoshanna and Mosaic Productions, a non-profit Dream Maker program of The Ink People Center for the Arts. We're delighted to invite you to our 8th annual event, celebrating a diverse showcase of the many styles that make up BELLY DANCING. Our festival features amazing performances by dancers from across the region (from Washington to Southern California!), great shopping in an international bazaar, incredible workshops from some very top dancers, henna, food.... and more!

For our local people, the Redwood Coast Belly Dance Festival is an excellent event for the whole family to enjoy. For our traveling dance friends, Arcata might be a bit of a drive up or down Highway 101, but we make it a fun experience for all. Arcata features easy parking, simple driving, a playground right there at the community center, and plenty for significant others to do while you enjoy the festival.
