The Salt Lake City Arts Council is pleased to present the Living Traditions Festival, a celebration of authentic and traditional folk and ethnic arts. Living Traditions brings people together to honor the diversity and cultural traditions of our community. Local ethnic artists—craftspeople, dancers, musicians and chefs—provide the framework for the Living Traditions Festival. They teach us about techniques, styles, tools and materials used in their respective art forms, many of which are centuries old. Special guest artists contribute to the festival experience by presenting musical styles that may not be indigenous to Salt Lake and enhance the overall celebration. By preserving the cultural traditions in their community, Living Traditions artists make a great contribution to our sense of place and our shared understanding through cultural expressions.
In this twenty-sixth year of celebrating ethnic diversity, we invite you to enjoy the sights, sounds and flavors of the Living Traditions Festival. We hope you experience —in a spirit of mutual respect and understanding—the rich and diverse cultures that contribute to the cultural depth and breadth of Salt Lake City. (from website)
