OSF’s biennial celebration of multi-ethnic cultures and the work on our stages.
FOOD. MUSIC. DANCE. THEATRE.
WHAT IS CULTUREFEST?
Every two years, the Oregon Shakespeare Festival’s CultureFest takes attendees on a full journey around the world. “As both a local and national resource to many communities, OSF strives to reflect the full diversity of our nation in all of our work,” said Artistic Director Bill Rauch. “I am deeply excited about CultureFest as a special, concentrated time to celebrate that commitment. I can’t wait to share the energy of this special week with our community.”
