Festival Beverly Hills will return to Beverly Gardens Park on July 12, from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. The event will feature music, dance, interactive workshops, and culinary options that showcase the rich tapestry of cultures from around the world.
The festival also celebrates artists who have shaped regional and international cultural landscapes. This year’s line-up includes Maruja Limon, an all-female quintet on tour from Barcelona known for its vibrant music that blends flamenco, pop, and Latin rhythms; Elida Almeida, a Cape Verdean-born artist who infuses her Cabo Verdean beats with Latino energy; Latin Grammy-nominated, Afro-Peruvian jazz saxophonist and producer Anibal Seminario; Los Angeles-based Viver Brasil Dance Company, creators of bold Afro-Brazilian dance theater with an emphasis on ancestral practices, street styles, and live music; Shivam Arts Dance, who blend traditional Northern Indian dance with contemporary music and choreography; and Klezmer Juice, representing the Jewish diaspora by way of Argentina, who will bring his ebullient musicianship back to the Festival after a two-year hiatus.
