The SAN PEDRO 
FESTIVAL OF THE ARTS, our FREE family event, features the best in local Dance. Please mark your calendars and plan to join us on the Upper Green at Peck Park near the Community Center at 560 N. Western Avenue on Saturday, September 26, 2026.
Bring a picnic basket, join in a Bollywood step or Flamenco turn, and enjoy an afternoon of world-class dance under the San Pedro sun.
For 20 years, the SAN PEDRO FESTIVAL OF THE ARTS has brought artists and audiences together for an extraordinary celebration of dance, culture and community. This free family festival showcases San Pedro as a haven for the arts while introducing audiences of all ages to dance companies representing an exceptional range of styles and traditions.
The festival is presented by Los Angeles Choreographers & Dancers. Louise Reichlin, Director of the nonprofit organization, serves as the festival’s Executive Producer and Director of Dance, continuing a commitment to making professional dance accessible to the wider community.
The San Pedro Festival of the Arts was founded by Joe Caccavalla, of blessed memory. His legacy lives on as the festival continues to bring people together, reflecting his enduring love for San Pedro and for the arts.
Selected moments honor the artists and audiences who shaped the festival, from its earlier days to today.
