This year's 31st annual WorldBeat Center’s Earth Day Celebrations returns to Balboa Park for a celebration that’s a homage to the Earth in these crucial times. The event aims to share the beneficial properties of plants like moringa and re-establishing direct relationships with nature. We will be focusing on food security, climate resilience, and soil biology. We have prominent speakers in the field like Mariko Gilfford, Marilu Lopez Fretts, Yahki Awakened and Isaac Diaz.
We are also celebrating WorldBeat Center’s 37th birthday bringing families to unite through world cultures, dance and music. Earth Day is a perfect time for all cultures to come together and learn what they can do to make the world a better place.
This year's Multicultural Earth Day will feature live music by Andrew Bees from Black Uhuru, Afro Pop Star Zivanai Masango from Zimbabwe, Rob Symeonn, Intent, Quinto Sol, Empress Akua, Sol Remedy Native American drumming by Tim Red Bird and the Red Warriors. Additionally WorldBeat Center’s classes will be showcased Japanese Taiko by San Diego Taiko, Middle-Eastern Drumming and Belly Dance by Cairo Beats, West African Drum and Dance, Angola Capoeira by Silvestre, Afrobeat Dance by Stephanie O, and Brazilian Samba by Super Sonic Samba.
There will be cultural craft vendors, plant music showcase, seed swap, and bird watching activities.
